There are six bond pair electrons around the central atom in Sulfur Hexafluoride. In order to attain the structure of least possible energy the Fluoride atoms attain the angle of 90° with respect to each other. And the bond pair electrons after maximum repulsion attain a Octahedral Shape as shown below,
