Is sulfur hexafluoride polar?
No sulfur hexafluoride is NOT polar. Even though it may be assumption that since fluoride is very electronegative between each S-F bond, the structure of the compound is octahedral. With this in mind, the bond electronegeativity cancels out and the compound remains non polar. The shape is symetrical which allows the compound to have equal charge distribution.
