A key structural feature of the molecule is the orientation around its two double bonds, where Ri and R2 represent two different groups that form the rest of the molecule. How many different compounds are possible, changing only the cis/trans arrangements around these two double bonds? Your response differs from the correct answer by more than 10%. Double check your calculation. SbF4+ shape octahedral seesaw square pyramidal tetrahedral tetrahedral pyramidal hybridization ideal bond angle(s) 60 degree 90 degree 109.5 degree 120 degree deviation from ideal angle(s)
