nonpolar or polar
Nonpolar
nonpolar
Typically nonpolar substances are soluble in other nonpolar substances. Like disolves like...
Nonpolar solvent
The molecular shape of SCl6 is octahedral.
Scl6 is non-polar because it has 6 bonding pairs and no lone pairs, giving it an octahedral shape. When you draw the vectors, you can see that the resultant is 0, making it nonpolar. Scl4 on the other hand is polar because it has 4 bonding pairs and one lone pair, giving it a trigonal pyrimidal shape. When you draw vectors for this molecule you can see that the resultant displacement is <0, and therefore it is polar.
In sulphur hexachloride SCl6 there are two elements, sulphur and chlorine, with six atoms of chlorine for every one of sulphur.
SCl6
sulfur(VI) chloride
Its actually covalent
SCl6 is sulfur hexachloride.
SCl6
The molecular geometry is octahedral.
This is a covalent compound. S-Cl bond is covalent.
nonpolar or polar
The nonpolar solute is dissolved in the nonpolar solvent.
