Answer:

Continuing on across the periodic table we see that fluorine is the next element after oxygen. ... Rather than forming seven bonds fluorine only forms a single bond for basically the same reasons that oxygen only forms two bonds. Hydrogen fluoride, HF, has one bond, but four centers of electron density around the fluorine.

Answer: sulfur pentafluoride

Explanation:

The rules for naming of binary molecular compound :

In the given formula, the lower group number element is written first in the name and keep its element name and the higher group number is written second.

First element i.e. sulphur in the formula is named first and keep its element name.

1) Gets a prefix if there is a subscript on it such as mono for 1, di for 2, tri for 3 and so on.

Second element i.e. fluorine is named second.

1) Use the root of the element name, if it is an anion then use suffix (-ide).

2) Always use a prefix on the second element such as mono for 1, di for 2, tri for 3 and so on.

Therefore, the chemical name of compound $SF_5$ is sulfur pentafluoride
