Q: What is the hybridization of the central atom in SF6?
Solution:
The central sulfur atom in SF6 is surrounded by six fluorine atoms, leading to an octahedral geometry and sp3d2 hybridization.
Steps: 5
Show Steps
Step 1: Identify the central atom in SF6, which is sulfur (S).
Step 2: Count the number of fluorine (F) atoms surrounding the sulfur atom. There are six fluorine atoms.
Step 3: Determine the geometry of the molecule based on the number of surrounding atoms. Six surrounding atoms indicate an octahedral geometry.
Step 4: Identify the type of hybridization that corresponds to octahedral geometry. This is sp3d2 hybridization.
Step 5: Conclude that the hybridization of the central sulfur atom in SF6 is sp3d2.
