Question

Molecular orbital theory could be used to explain the bonding in $S i F_{6}^{2 -}$ and the shape of this ion is octahedral.

Open in App

Solution

${S i F}_{6}^{2 -}$ has $6$ electron pairs in which $6$ pairs and $0$ are lone pairs. Hence its structure is octahedral.

Valence bond theory describes the bonding in complexes in terms of coordinate-covalent bonds resulting from the overlap of filled ligand orbitals with vacant metal hybrid orbitals. This theory explains the magnetic behavior and geometrical shape of coordination compounds.
