1.	Lewis concept of ccovalency of an element involved octet rule. Later on it was found that may elements in their compounds e.g. BeF_(2),BF_(3) etc, have incomplete octet whereas PCl_(5), SF_(6) etcc. Have expanded octet.

(V) SF_(4) is sea-saw structure whereas ICl_(3) is T-shaped.
Answer» I,II,IV,V I,II,III,IV II,III,IV,V I,III,IV,V Solution :`SeF_(4)` is SEA -saw shaped whereas `CH_(4)` is tetrahedral.
