What is the chemical name of the covalent compound sf6? a. monosulfur hexafluoride b. monosulfide hexafluorine c. sulfur hexafluoride d. hexasulfur fluoride

monosulfur hexafluoride

Explanation:

In the given covalent compound, SF₆, there is one sulfur atom and six fluorine atoms.

The cationic part is sulfur (less electro-negative) and anionic part is fluorine (more electro-negative).

So the more electro-negative fluorine will be named as fluoride and the name of sulfur will be the same :sulfur:

as there are six fluorine so the prefix " hexa"

Hence name will be monosulfur hexafluoride

the millers tale is the answer.

periodic trends is an atom that gets larger as the number of electronic shells increase, the radius of atoms increases as you go down a certain group in the periodic table of elements. in general, the size of an atom will decrease as you move from left to right of a certain period.
