SF6 - Sulfur Hexafluoride:
First draw the Lewis Structure:
Electron geometry: octahedral. Hybridization: sp3d2
Then draw the 3D structure using VSEPR rules:
Click and drag the molecle to rotate it.
Decision:
The molecular geometry of SF6 is octahedral with a symmetric charge distribution around the central atom.
Therefore this molecule is nonpolar.
