Is SF6 a polar molecule?

SF6 is non-polar. Reason: Fluorine is more electronegative than sulfur, so the bond dipoles point toward fluorine. However, all the six S-F bonds are arranged octahedrally around the central sulfur. F F \ / F-S-F / \ F F Because the octahedral geometry is symmetrical, the bond dipoles cancel each other, and the molecule is nonpolar, meaning that µ = 0.
