The central atom is Sulfur (S). It is singly bonded to each of the six Chlorines (Cl). Each of the six Chlorines has three lone pairs. Sulfur can have six bonds because it is in the third row and can therefore have an expanded octet.
S is the central atom. You add the 6 chlorines to bond with sulfur with a single bond. THis is allowed because sulfur can be an expanded octet because it is in the third row.
SCl6
Its actually covalent
This is a covalent compound. S-Cl bond is covalent.
Sulfur (S) would be the central atom, and it will have 6 Cl bonded to it by single bonds. Each Cl will have 3 lone pairs of electrons around them. S will have 12 electrons but it can have an expanded octet, and doesn't have to have 8 electrons.
CaCl2 which is ionic, the rest are molecular. CaCl2 melts at 7720C
The molecular shape of SCl6 is octahedral.
In sulphur hexachloride SCl6 there are two elements, sulphur and chlorine, with six atoms of chlorine for every one of sulphur.
