Question

Sulfur hexafluoride is represented by which formula?

Answer 1

It is represented by Sf6, that is the chemical formula!

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Answer:The molecular formula of sulfur hexafluoride is
`SF_6`

Step-by-step explanation:

Electronic configuration of sulfur is gives as:

`[S]=1s^22s^2p^63s^23p^4`

Sulfur has 6 valence electrons. It can either donate its 6 electrons or accept 2 electrons to gain fully filled electronic configuration stability.

In Sulfur hexafluoride, there are 6 fluorine atoms and 1 sulfur atom.Fluorine being most electronegative atom will attract the valence electrons of sulfur towards itself.

`S^(6+)+F^-\rightarrow SF_6`

The molecular formula of sulfur hexafluoride is
`SF_6`
