It should be sp3d. first draw the Lewis structure. then you can see the central S atom has 4 bonding pair and 1 lone pair. then draw molecular orbital. Distribute electron according the bonding and lone pair. the paired electron represent lone pair in Lewis structure. and the other unpaired electron distribute in the molecular orbital represent the number of bonding pair in Lewis structure

The name of this compound is sulfur tetrafluoride.
Hybridization orbitals are determined by the numbers of electron groups present around an atom. Valence shell theory dictates that with 2 electron groups, the atom is sp hybridized. With 3 election groups, it is sp2, and with 4, it is sp3. Since SF4 has 4 electron groups (each of the 4 single S-F bonds), the S atom is sp3 hybridized. In fact, each of the F atoms is also sp3 hybridized since each has 1 single S-F bond and 3 lone pairs (which each count as an electron group). Therefore, the F has 4 electron groups.
No, sulfur tetrafluoride is a covalently bonded compound.
In the Lewis dot structure of sf4 the S is in the center. The S has two dots to the right of it. The S is surrounded on the top, bottom, and side with the F. Each one of the F's have 6 dots surrounding them.
This compound is tetrafluoromethane.
