Question

Octahedral shape is associated with PF5 SF4 SF6 CIF3​

Answer 1

OCTAHEDRAL SHAPE : $\bf SF_{6}$

• $SF_{6}$ has central hybridization of sulphur atom as sp³d²

• Similar geometry is seen in $IF_{7}$, where iodine atom has hybridization of sp³d³ and geometry of pentagonal bi-pyramidal.

• This type of hybridization is associated with octahedral geometry in which arrangement of atoms are as follows:

• 4 Fluorine atoms are present in one plane along with Sulphur and the rest 2 fluorine atoms are present perpendicular to the plane.
