Which of the following is correct?
Options
- AThe number of electrons present in the valence shell of S in SF ₆ is 12
- BThe rates of ionic reactions are very slow
- CAccording to VSEPR theory, SnCl ₂ is a linear molecule
- DThe correct order of ability to form ionic compounds among Na ⁺, Mg ²⁺ and Al ³⁺ is Al ³⁺> Mg ²⁺> Na ⁺
Correct answer
A. The number of electrons present in the valence shell of S in SF ₆ is 12
Step-by-step solution
SF ₆ does not obey octet rule as in it S-atom has 12 electrons in its valence shell.
