SF5Cl - Sulfur Pentafluoride Monochloride:
First draw the Lewis dot structure:
Electron geometry: octahedral. Hybridization: sp3d2
Then draw the 3D molecular structure using VSEPR rules:
Click and drag the molecle to rotate it.
Decision:
The molecular geometry of SF5Cl is octahedral with asymmetric charge distribution on the central atom.
Therefore SF5Cl is polar.
This is a slightly rare molecule, but here is one similar: Sulfur Hexafluoride on Wikipeida.
