The correct Answer is:
To analyze the statements regarding the molecule SF₆ (sulfur hexafluoride), we will evaluate each statement step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze Statement 1 **Statement 1**: SF₆ molecule has octahedral geometry. - **Explanation**: - SF₆ consists of one sulfur atom and six fluorine atoms. - Sulfur has six valence electrons, and in SF₆, all six of these electrons are used to form bonds with six fluorine atoms. - Since there are no lone pairs on the sulfur atom and it is surrounded by six bonding pairs, the molecular geometry adopts an octahedral shape. - **Conclusion**: Statement 1 is **True**. ### Step 2: Analyze Statement 2 **Statement 2**: Sulfur atom in SF₆ molecule is in sp³d hybridization state. - **Explanation**: - To determine the hybridization of the sulfur atom, we look at the number of bonding pairs and lone pairs. - In SF₆, there are six bonding pairs and no lone pairs. - The hybridization can be determined using the formula: - For 6 bonding pairs, the hybridization is sp³d² (not sp³d). - Therefore, the correct hybridization for sulfur in SF₆ is sp³d². - **Conclusion**: Statement 2 is **False**. ### Final Conclusion - Statement 1 is True. - Statement 2 is False.
