Per NCERT Table 4.6, what is the geometry of a molecule of type AB₆ with NO lone pairs (e.g. SF₆)?
ATetrahedral
BTrigonal bipyramidal
COctahedral, with all bond angles 90°
DHexagonal planar
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Octahedral, with all bond angles 90°
Per NCERT Table 4.6, AB₆ + 0 lp = octahedral (SF₆). All bond angles 90°.
