No. A molecule of octahedral shape is always non-polar
Sulfur hexafluoride has an octahedron structure.
bus 12
it is just distorted
Yes. it has a pseudo octahedral geometry in XeF6
there will be one octahedral void per atom. no. of atoms per unit cell = 4 total octahedral voids = Z = 4 octahedral void per atom = 4/4 =1
electron-pair geometry is octahedral with no LPs and the molecule geometry is octahedral
Sulfur hexafluoride has an octahedron structure.

There are two different structures possible in an octahedral molecule with a formula of AX3Y3. The two structures are with each substituent atom in one plane of symmetry according to type, or having 2 in one and the other out.
179 and 103 degrees source and excellent explanation: http://www.madsci.org/posts/archives/2001-02/983324692.Ch.r.html
7. Selenium hexafluoride is SeF6 , an octahedral molecule similar to SF6
it is just distorted
Yes. it has a pseudo octahedral geometry in XeF6
This seems like a misprint. IF6 will have one electron too many to attain an octahedral structure with 90 degree bond angles. SF6 is octahedral, for example, and does have 90 degree angles, as does PF6(-1). Perhaps IF6(+1) is the molecule in question, which will have the proper number of electrons.
Two are possible. One has the two Y's next to each other, and the other has them on opposite sides of the central atom.
octahedral site is larger than the tetrahedral site.
