The ground state electronic configuration of S is 3s2 3p4. How does it form the compound SF6?
- Due to octahedral shape of S atoms.
- Due to presence of vacant 3d-orbitals which provide 6 unpaired electrons in excited state.
- Due to sp3 hybridisation of S atom which provides 6 electrons to 6 F atoms.
- Due to presence of 3 sigma and 3 pi bonds between S and F.
Answer
(B) Due to presence of vacant 3 d -orbitals which provide 6 unpaired electrons in excited state.
