Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The molecule SiF4 is a nonpolar molecule even after having four polar bonds is to be explained.

Concept introduction:

VSEPR theory is an important model that is frequently used in chemistry to decide the shape and geometry of the molecules. VSEPR model is the extension of the Lewis model. As the Lewis model is not able to explain the shape of the molecules. In terms of electron density, it is given that both the bonding electrons as well as lone pair of electrons hold the shape of the molecule.
