14. SF6: The S–F bonds are quite polar, but the individual bond dipoles cancel one another in an octahedral<br />

15.<br />

structure. Thus, SF6 has no net dipole moment.<br />

At 90°, the two electron pairs share a relatively large region of space, which<br />

leads to strong repulsive electron–electron interactions.<br />

Answer<br />

4. With four nuclei <strong>and</strong> one lone pair of electrons, the molecular structure is based on a trigonal bipyramid with a<br />

missing equatorial vertex; it is described as a seesaw. The Faxial–S–Faxial angle is 173° rather than 180° because of the<br />

lone pair of electrons in the equatorial plane.<br />
