The bond angle and % of d-character in `SF_(6)` are

A

`120^@, 20%`

B

`90^@, 33%`

C

`109^@, 25%`

D

`90^@, 25%`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Sulphur hexafluoride involves `sp^3 d^2` hybridisation and possesses octahedral geometry.
% of d-character
` = ("2(no. of d - orbitals)")/("6(total hybridised orbitals)") xx 100 = 33%`
Bond angle = `90^@`.
