Question:

A molecule XF6 (having no lone pairs) has a dipole moment of zero. (X denotes an unidentified element.) When two atoms of fluorine have been taken away, you get the molecule XF4, which has dipole moment of 0.632 D.
XF6 → XF4 + 2F
Describe the molecular geometry and bonding for each molecule. What are some possibilities for X?
