Question

Which of the following will be octahedral molecule? (A) SF6 (B) BF-4 (C) PCl5 (D) BO3-3

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

SF6 has octahedral structure because the central atom (sulphur) is sp3d2 hybridised and due to the presence of d-orbitals sulphur may extend its covalency upto 6.

Q. Which of the following will be octahedral molecule?

$S F_{6}$

$B F_{4}^{-}$

$PC l_{5}$

$B O_{3}^{3 -}$

$S F_{6}$ has octahedral structure because the central atom (sulphur) is $s p^{3} d^{2}$ hybridised and due to the presence of d-orbitals sulphur may extend its covalency upto 6.
