Answer:
In SF6 the central sulphur atom has the ground state configuration,3s23p4 one electron each from 3s and 3p orbitals is promoted to 3d orbitals These six orbitals get hybridised to form six sp3d2hybrid orbitals

Explanation:
In SF6 the central sulphur atom has the ground state configuration,3s2,3p4one electron each from 3s and 3p orbitals is promoted to 3d orbitals These six orbitals get hybridised to form six sp3d2
hybrid orbitals. Each of these sp3d2hybrid orbitals overlaps with 2p orbital of fluorine to form S−F bond. Thus, SF6 molecule has octahedral structure.
