Question

A compound is formed when a sulfur atom and six fluorine atoms share electrons. What is the name of the compound?

Answer 1

Answer;

Sulfur hexafluoride

Explanation;

-Sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) is an inorganic, colorless, odorless, and non-flammable greenhouse gas.

-Sulfur hexafluoride has an octahedral geometry, consisting of six fluorine atoms attached to a central sulfur atom. It is a hypervalent molecule.

-Being a nonpolar gas, it is poorly soluble in water but soluble in nonpolar organic solvents. It is generally transported as a liquefied compressed gas.

-It is used in the electrical industry as a gaseous dielectric medium for high-voltage circuit breakers, switchgear, and other electrical equipment, often replacing oil filled circuit breakers (OCBs) that can contain harmful PCBs.

Answer 2
