S in SF_6 is ......... hybridized. - Vidyadip

MCQ

$\ce{S}$ in $\ce{SF_6}$ is $ ......... $ hybridized.

A
$\ce{sp^3d^3}$
B
$\ce{sp^3d^4}$
✓
$\ce{sp^3d^2}$
D
None of these

✓

Answer

Correct option: C.

$\ce{sp^3d^2}$

In $\ce{SF_6},$ sulphur has six valence electrons and there are six fluorine atoms that are monovalent.
So, by applying the hybridization formula answer comes for $6$ hybrid orbitals, which is $\ce{sp^3d^2}$ hybridisation. $\ce{S}$ in $\ce{SF6}$ is hybridized. Chemistry Questions
