Step 1
1 of 5

In this exercise, we are asked to predict the molecular geometry of O2SF2\bf\textbf{O}_{\textbf{2}}\textbf{SF}_2 using the VSEPR theory.

To do this, we need first to solve for the total number of valence electrons. After that, we will construct the Lewis structure. From the Lewis structure, we can determine the electron domain of the molecule. Lastly, by taking into account the number of lone pairs of electrons, we can predict its molecular geometry.
