A) Bond angles for IF6+ are 60°.
B) SeF4 is a polar molecule.
C) KrF4 is a polar molecule.
D) Silane (SiH4) is a non-polar molecule.
E) The formal oxidation state of an atom in amolecule (or molecular ion) can be calculated as:
(the number of valence electrons on a free atom)minus (half the number of electrons in bonds to that atom)minus (the number of unshared electrons assigned to theatom in the molecule)
F) SeF4 has a square planar structure
