What is the number of planar atoms in ${SF}_{6}$ ?

Open in App

Solution

Shape of ${SF}_{6}$
${SF}_{6}$ has octahedral shape and there will be five atoms in horizontal plane $4$ Fluorine atoms and $1$ Sulfur atom.
The number of planar atoms in ${SF}_{6}$ are five, this is because the structure is octahedral so there are four planar Fluorine atoms and $1$ Sulfur.
Therefore, The number of planar atoms in ${SF}_{6}$ is five.
