Question

What is the Lewis Structure for `GeF_4`?

Answer 1

Well, where is germanium on the Periodic Table?

Explanation:

It lies in Group 16, i.e. the same Group as carbon....and, reasonably `GeF_4` should have a similar geometry to that of `CF_4`, or even `CH_4`, i.e. tetrahedral with `/_F-Ge-F-=109.5^@`...
