Sulfur Hexafluoride | MCQs

Explanation

SF₆ is stable although the central S atom expands its octet and has 12 electrons in the outermost shell.

This is because the central S atom forms 6 S-F bonds with 6 F atoms, and S-F bond is a very strong covalent bond.

The molecule is stabilized by the 6 strong S-F bonds.
