sf₆ has a ____ geometric structure.
octahedral
linear
tetrahedral
trigonal planar
Brief Explanations
In $SF_{6}$, sulfur has 6 valence - electrons and forms 6 bonds with fluorine atoms. The electron - pair geometry and molecular geometry are octahedral due to the six bonding pairs around the central sulfur atom with no lone pairs.
