Question

The bond angle and % of d-character in SF6 are (a) 120 . , 20% (b) 90 . , 33% (c) 109 . , 25% (d) 90 . , 25%

Answer 1

it is (b) hybridisation is sp3d2

Answer 2

Answer:

The bond angle of $SF_{6}$  is 90° and percentage of d-character is 33.

Explanation:

Bond angle: It is the angle between two covalent bond of the same atom. We can find the bond angle by dividing 360° by number of electron. Sulphur hexafluoride has 6 electron pairs and therefore has bond angle of 90°.

The hybridization of  $SF_{6}$ is $sp_{3} d_{2}$ . The last electron goes in the d sub shell.

Hence, (b)90° , 33% is the correct answer.
