Detailed Solution

Each methane molecule contains 5 atoms total: 1 carbon atom, 4 hydrogen atoms, and 1 oxygen atom.

The octahedral form of ${SF}_{6}$ will have five atoms in the horizontal plane (4F-atoms and 1S atom)

${IF}_{7}$ contains seven Fluorine atoms and one Iodine atom.'

No. of such planes in $\begin{aligned} {CH}_{4} = 10 \end{aligned}$

No. of such planes in $\begin{array}{r} {SF}_{6} = 3 \end{array}$

No. of such planes in $\begin{array}{r} {IF}_{7} = 1 \end{array}$
