Consider the Lewis structures for the ClF4+ cation and ClF4- anion. Which statement is FALSE regarding their molecular geometry?
a. F-CI-F bond angles in CIF4+ are slightly distorted from ideal due to the presence of the lone pair. b. The two lone pairs in CIF4+ occupy the most spacious positions since they occupy more space than the bonding pair of electrons. c . All four F atoms sit in a plane in CIF4+ since bonding pair-lone pair repulsion is greater than bonding pair-bonding pair repulsion. d. These molecular ions have different electron pair geometry in order to minimize electron repulsion from both bonding pairs and lone pairs of electrons e. Lone pair around Cl in CIF4+ sits in an equatorial position to minimize lone pair-bonding pair repulsion.
