How to do i create a lewis structure for SF_6_?
How many lone pairs does it have?
How many single bonds does it have?
How many double bonds does it have?
And would it be an incomplete, expanded, or regular octet?
Answer:
SF6 is a regular octahedral shaped molecule with S as the central atom involving sp3d2 hybridisation.
no lone pairs on S atom
6 single bonds with 6 F arranged octahedrally around S atom
double bonds absent
it is an example of expanded octet
S is the central atom.
6 pairs on the S. 6 single bonds to the 6 F. Each F has three non-bonded pairs.
No double bonds. No lone pairs on the S.
expanded octet.
No problem on the subscripts, everyone here can figure them out.
