MCQ
Out of $CHCl_3, CH_4$ and $SF_4$ the molecules do not having regular  geometry are 
  • A
    $CHCl_3$ only
  • $CHCl_3$ and $SF_4$
  • C
    $CH_4$ only
  • D
    $CH_4$ and $SF_4$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$CHCl_3$ and $SF_4$
b
As $CHCl _3$ has $Cl$ more electronegative than $H$ so it has not regular geometry Regular geometry of $CH _4$ is attributed to zero dipole moment $(\mu=0)$ and absence of lone pair on the carbon atom.

$SF _4$ has lone pair on $S$ so it will increase bond angle due to repulsion hence $CHCl _3$ and $SF _4$ has not regular geometry.
