Sulfur hexafluoride has an octahedron structure.
SF6 is sulfur hexafluoride; the molecule has an octahedral structure.
Octahedral
It has an octahedral shape.
Name: Chloromethane or methyl chloride Shape: Tetrahderal
SF6 is sulphur-hexa-fluorine, it is used in gaseous form as an arc suppressent and also to insulated EHV busducts and switchgear.

Sulfur Hexafluoride
SF6 is sulphur-hexa-fluorine, it is used in gaseous form as an arc suppressent and also to insulated EHV busducts and switchgear.
Some do (CO2, CH4), but not all (H2O, SF6).
sp3d2 hybridization. Example: sulfur hexafluoride (SF6)
The neutral SF6 molecule has no dipole moment. The gas phase SF6- ion is not that well understood- on the basis that the shape is distorted octahedral a small dipole would be expected.
Trigonal pyramidal
The molecular shape of SCl6 is octahedral.
Molecular geometry is the name of the geometric shape used to describe the shape of a molecule. The five molecular geometries are linear, trigonal planar, bent, tetrahedral, trigonal pyramidal, and seesaw.
