Question

can you explain how s can have 12e in sf6 ,does it form dative bond or it can exist with 12e as it opposes octet​

Answer 1

Explanation:

SF6 Forms Covalent Bond.

Sulphur Has Vacant 3D Orbital And In It's Excited State (Electron Goes To Higher Orbitals Example, From 2p Orbital To 3s Orbital) It's Covalency Becomes 6 And It Shares 1 Electron With Each Fluorine.

Hence Sulphur Gets The Rest 6 Electrons From Fluorine.

Above Things Sound a Bit Difficult But After Reading The Chapter Chemical Bonding Will You'll Find It a Lot More Simple.

Thank You
