  1. 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

  1. Sulfur hexafluoride
    • According to 2 sources
    Sulfur hexafluoride or sulphur hexafluoride (British spelling) is an inorganic compound with the formula SF 6. 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.
    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.
