A certain covalent compound is named sulfur hexafluoride. What's the chemical formula for this compound? A. F6S2 B. F6S C. S2F6 D. SF6

Respuesta :

Answer: The sulphur hexafluoride will have a chemical formula of [tex]SF_6[/tex]

Explanation:

A covalent compound is a compound where the sharing of electrons takes place between two elements which are non-metals.

The naming of covalent compound is given by:

1. The less electronegative element is written first.

2. The more electronegative element is written second. Then a suffix is added with it. The suffix added is '-ide'.

3. If atoms of an element is greater than 1, then prefixes are added which are 'mono' for 1 atom, 'di' for 2 atoms, 'tri' for 3 atoms and so on.

Thus sulphur hexafluoride will have a chemical formula of [tex]SF_6[/tex]
