HFO₄, or tetrafluoroethylene oxide, does not exist due to the instability of its molecular structure. The presence of four highly electronegative fluorine atoms would create significant steric and electronic repulsions, making the compound highly reactive and prone to decomposition. Additionally, the bonding arrangements do not favor the stability required for such a compound to exist under normal conditions. As a result, HFO₄ has not been observed or synthesized in practical chemistry.
