What is the molecular shape and name SF6?

Sulfur hexafluoride has an octahedron structure.


How many atoms in selenium hexafluride?

7. Selenium hexafluoride is SeF6 , an octahedral molecule similar to SF6


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.


What is the electron dot formula for SF6?

It has an octahedral shape.


Can a molecule be octahedral?

No. A molecule of octahedral shape is always non-polar


What is the bond angle for sif6 2?

179 and 103 degrees source and excellent explanation: http://www.madsci.org/posts/archives/2001-02/983324692.Ch.r.html


What hybridization is present in an octahedral molecular geometry?

sp3d2 hybridization. Example: sulfur hexafluoride (SF6)


Bond angles for IF6 are 90?

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.


Geometry for P in PCl6-?

electron-pair geometry is octahedral with no LPs and the molecule geometry is octahedral


What chemical formula accurate represents the molecule Sulfur Hexafluoride?

SF6


How does a molecule that has polar bonds be nonpolar?

A molecule with polar bonds can be overall non-polar if the bond dipoles cancel each other out. For example the following all have polar bonds but the bond dipoles cancel each other out (vector addition) to make the molecule non-polar. Linear - CO2 trigonal planar - BF3 tetrahedral molecules, CF4 trigonal bipyramidal PF5 octahedral SF6
