    Sulfur hexafluoride - Wikipedia

    • Sulfur hexafluoride or sulphur hexafluoride (British spelling) is an inorganic compound with the formula SF6. It is a colorless, odorless, non-flammable, and non-toxic gas. SF 6 has an octahedral geometry, consisting of six fluorine atoms attached to a central sulfur atom. It is a hypervalent molecule. Typical for a nonpolar gas, SF 6 is poorly soluble in water but … See more

    wikiwand.com
    The Lewis structure of SF6, or sulfur hexafluoride, consists of a sulfur (S) atom in the center, bonded to six fluorine (F) atoms. The arrangement involves single bonds between sulfur and each fluorine, and sulfur can accommodate up to 12 valence electrons, making it an exception to the octet rule.

    How many atoms are in SF6?
    We have two kinds of atoms in SF6, sulfur, and fluorine. There is one atom of sulfur whereas there are 6 atoms of fluorine. Let us start making the Lewis structure by knowing about the valence electrons of Sulfur and Fluorine. Valence electrons of Sulfur = 6, and Valence electrons of Fluorine = 7

    Is SF6 a flammable gas?
    SF6 or sulfur hexafluoride is an inorganic and one of the most stable gases that are known in chemistry. This gas has more density than air. The general identification of the gas can’t be done because it is odorless and colorless in nature. There is also no taste of the gas as such. SF6 is noncombustible and nonflammable in nature.

    Why is SF6 octahedral?
    Here, in SF6, there are 6 sigma bonds between Sulfur and Fluorine and 3 lone pairs on each Fluorine atom. These lone electrons repel each other and maintain symmetry around the central atom. That is why the shape that SF6 takes is octahedral, which can be termed as its molecular geometry too. Below is the MO diagram of SF6.
