Q68
General ScienceChemistry
Which species does not contain at least one 90° bond angle?
  1. a.CF$_4$
  2. b.PF$_5$
  3. c.SF$_6$
  4. d.SiF$_6^{2-}$

Answer: (A) CF$_4$

CF$_4$ is tetrahedral, with all F–C–F angles 109.5°. PF$_5$ is trigonal bipyramidal (axial–equatorial angles of 90°), and SF$_6$ and SiF$_6^{2-}$ are octahedral with 90° angles.
