Q
Q: What is the molecular geometry of SF6?
Solution:
SF6 has an octahedral geometry due to six bonding pairs of electrons around the central sulfur atom, with bond angles of 90 degrees.
Steps: 6
Show Steps
Step 1: Identify the central atom in SF6, which is sulfur (S).
Step 2: Count the number of fluorine (F) atoms bonded to sulfur. There are 6 fluorine atoms.
Step 3: Determine the number of bonding pairs of electrons. Each fluorine atom forms one bond with sulfur, resulting in 6 bonding pairs.
Step 4: Recognize that the molecular geometry is determined by the arrangement of these bonding pairs around the central atom.
Step 5: Since there are 6 bonding pairs, the geometry is octahedral.
Step 6: Note that in an octahedral geometry, the bond angles between the bonds are 90 degrees.
