Answer:

11 is the atomic number of alkali metal

Explanation:

The Group 1 elements are called the alkali metals. ... All the Group 1 elements are very reactive . They must be stored under oil to keep air and water away from them. Group 1 elements form alkaline solutions when they react with water, which is why they are called alkali metals.

The answer is- $SF_{6}$ is octahedral in electronic and molecular geometry with 6 Fluorine atoms bonded to central atom S.

Lewis structures are the diagrams in which the valence electrons of the atoms of a compound are arranged around the atoms showing the bonding between the atom and the lone pair of electrons existing in the molecule.

Determine the molecular geometry of $SF_{6}$ .

Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion theory is commonly known as VSEPR theory and it helps to predict the geometry of molecules.
According to this theory, electrons are arranged around the central atom of the molecule in such a way that there is minimum electrostatic repulsion between these electrons.
Now, calculate the total number of valence electrons in $SF_{6}$ .

$Valence\ electrons\ in\ SF_{6}= Valence\ electrons\ in\ S +\ 6(Valence\ electrons\ in\ F)$

Valence electrons of S = 6

Valence electrons of F = 7

Thus, the valence electrons in $SF_{6}$ are-

$Valence\ number\ of\ electrons\ in\ SF_{6} = (6) + 6(7) = 48\ electrons.$

The Lewis structure of $SF_{6}$ is - (Image attached).
In the structure, the number of atoms bonded to central atom (S) = 6.
Number of non-bonding electron pairs on the central atom = 0 (as all the valence electrons are bonded to F).
Electronic geometry in case of 6 bond pairs is octahedral.
Molecular geometry us also octahedral with bond angles 90°.
Central atom is sp3d2 hybridised.
$SF_{6}$ is a non-polar molecule.
