The Lewis structure of SF4 has four bonded pairs of electrons and one lone pair. Propose two structures for SF4 based a trigonal bipyramidal coordination at S, and a further structure based on a square pyramid. For each structure, describe the expected form of the 19F NMR spectrum, giving your reasons. Hint: You do not need to consider possible interaction with the S nucleus.
