  1. A \(\mathrm{XeF}_4\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{BF}_4^{-}\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{C}_2 \mathrm{H}_4\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{SiF}_4\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\mathrm{C}_2 \mathrm{H}_4\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In \(\mathrm{XeF}_4, \mathrm{BF}_4^{-}\)and \(\mathrm{SiF}_4\) only one type of covalent bonds are present, which are \(\mathrm{Xe}-\mathrm{F}, \mathrm{B}-\mathrm{F}\) and \(\mathrm{Si}-\) F respectively. In \(\mathrm{C}_2 \mathrm{H}_4\), two types of covalent bonds are present,…
