Question
pound based on their lewis structures. sf6 octahedral trigonal bipyramidal tetrahedral done
Brief Explanations
In $SF_6$, sulfur (S) is the central atom with 6 valence electrons and forms 6 single - bonds with 6 fluorine (F) atoms. According to the Valence - Shell Electron - Pair Repulsion (VSEPR) theory, when the central atom has 6 bonding pairs and no lone pairs, the molecular geometry is octahedral.
