Lewis dot diagrams for CF_4 and SF_4 are provided in the image above. Which of the following statements are true?
A. The molecular geometry for both substances is different because S has a greater number of electron domains than C.
B. Both molecules have the same shape because the molecular formulas are the same.
C. Both molecules have similar shapes and are nonpolar because the electronegativities for C and S are similar.
D. The lone pairs on S make is the negative end of the dipole.
