SF6
What is SF6? Sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) is an odourless, colourless, non-flammable, inorganic, extremely potent greenhouse gas. This compound is formed when sulfur reacts with fluorinated gas that is produced by the electrolysis of anhydrous hydrofluoric acid (HF). It is a hypervalent molecule that has an octahedral geometry comprising of six fluorine atoms that are bound to a sulfur atom. SF6 is also a great dielectric gas that is used for high voltage applications. The gas remains chemically inert even at low temperatures and has many advantages due to its combined thermal, chemical, and electrical properties. SF6 Properties SF6 has properties …
