Question

27) Give the hybridization for the S in SF6 A) sp B) sp2 )sp3 D) sp3d ) sp3d2

Answer 1

SF₆:

central atom is 'S'.

six F atoms around S atom.

S have six valence electrons.

number of electrons around S = (6 + 1 * 6) = 12 that six electron pairs.

six electron pairs leads to sp³d².

option E) sp3d2 is the answer.
