The size of the Cl atom is such that formation of molecules of SCl6 does not occur. As SF6 has the smaller F atoms around the central S atom, this molecule is known. Think about the electron configuration and the effect on the sizes of Cl and F - Cl is in Period 3 and thus has electrons in the third energy level, whereas the electrons in F are in the second. This added energy level is such that 6 Cl atoms cannot 'fit' around one S atom.

I assume you mean HCl6. There is no such thing as L at this time. There are countless atomic combinations that are not known. Why would you think that this one might exist?

What is sf6?

SF6 is a commonly used abbreviation for sulfur hexafluoride. It is a colorless, odorless gas that is highly effective in electrical insulation and arc quenching in high-voltage electrical equipment. SF6 is known for its high dielectric strength and thermal stability, making it an ideal choice for various applications in the electrical industry.

What deference between vacuum circuitb reaker and sf6 breaker?

A vacuum circuit breaker has the circuit interrupting contacts inside a vacuum bottle. Without air the arc created by interrupting the circuit contains only material from the contacts. As a result the arc cannot sustain itself as well as it would if in air and the contacts will be able to handle higher currents. In an SF6 breaker the arc occurs in SF6 gas. SF6 captures free electrons from the arc quickly quenching it. In the process SF6 is broken apart but will recombine back into SF6. Some "SF6" breakers use vacuum bottles. This results in the small size of SF6 Switchgear with the advantages of vacuum breakers.


Does the SF6 anion have a dipole moment?

The neutral SF6 molecule has no dipole moment. The gas phase SF6- ion is not that well understood- on the basis that the shape is distorted octahedral a small dipole would be expected.
