The molecular shape of SCl6 is octahedral.
The molecular geometry is octahedral.
SCl6 is octahedral because it has six bonding pairs of electrons surrounding the central sulfur atom, which repel each other and arrange themselves to minimize repulsion. This arrangement leads to a geometric shape where the chlorine atoms are positioned at the vertices of an octahedron, with the sulfur atom at the center. The electron pair geometry is octahedral, and since there are no lone pairs on the sulfur, the molecular geometry is also octahedral.
This is a covalent compound. S-Cl bond is covalent.
The molecular shape name for C3H8 is a tetrahedron.
Parent Shape: Trigonal bipyrimidal Actual shape: Trigonal Planar
V-shape
In sulphur hexachloride SCl6 there are two elements, sulphur and chlorine, with six atoms of chlorine for every one of sulphur.
A compound that does not have a bent molecular shape is carbon dioxide (CO2). It has a linear molecular shape due to the arrangement of the three atoms in a straight line.
SCl6
The molecular shape of CIF2 is linear. This is because there are only two atoms bonded with the central atom, which results in a linear molecular geometry.
The molecular shape of a magnesium hydride molecule is linear. Magnesium has a +2 charge, while hydride has a -1 charge, resulting in a linear molecular shape.
