Coordination compounds
« on: October 26, 2018, 12:38:03 AM »
Okay, i have a question regarding the coordination compounds. Now, our professor asked, what is the geometric shape of thr SF6, and the answer was octahedral. But i couldn’t get that, how come it’s octahedral when the sulfur is not a metal, i don’t get it

Why does it have to be a metal to be octahedral?
