Question
What type of hybridisation is involved in $\mathrm{SF}_6$ ?
✓
Answer
$\mathrm{SF}_6, \mathrm{~S}$ is the central atom with six valence electrons.
$\therefore$ Number of hybrid orbitals $=\frac{1}{2}[6+6-0+0]=6$
Hence, the hybridisation involved in $\mathrm{sp}^3 \mathrm{~d}^2$.
$\therefore$ Number of hybrid orbitals $=\frac{1}{2}[6+6-0+0]=6$
Hence, the hybridisation involved in $\mathrm{sp}^3 \mathrm{~d}^2$.
