Short description: Sulfur fluoride oxide has a very strong odor.
Common name: sulfur oxide tetrafluoride
Layman's explanation: SOF4 is also know as sulfur flouride oxide and better known as Thionyl tetraflouride. It has a bipyramidal shape and a strong odor. Thionyl tetraflouride is dangerous to all living tissue and is also flamable. Thionyl tetraflouride reacts with moisture and water to form hydrofluoric acid and thionyl fluoride. SOF4 has many double bonds that cause distortion and the single bonds are pushed away.
