Answer #1

W(tungsten)

electron configuration :[Xe]4f14 5d4 6s2

It has d4 configuration,with one lone pair electron at 6s2

In WF4 ,metal-ligand complex, these d4 electrons are distributed as t2g^3 eg^1 (F- is weak field ligand ,so high spin d4 complex formed)

(degenerate set of eg orbitals are assymetrically occupied by an electron in the octahedral geometry which requires more energy)So to reduce this energy the system undergoes tetragonal distortion, dz^2 orbital with the electrons moves out z-out distortion

The compound appears tetragonal in shape with elongated axial bonds.in the octahedral geometry
