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
