    They are divided into several types, the main of those are hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs), sulphur hexafluoride (SF6). They are used in refrigeration, air conditioning, heat pumps, fire suppression, electronics, aerospace, magnesium industry, foam and high voltage switchgear.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypervalent_molecule

    In chemistry, a hypervalent molecule (the phenomenon is sometimes colloquially known as expanded octet) is a molecule that contains one or more main group elements apparently bearing more than eight electrons in their valence shells.

    Hexafluoride-forming elements Octahedral structure of SF 6. Seventeen elements are known to form binary hexafluorides. [2] Nine of these elements are transition metals, three are actinides, four are chalcogens, and one is a noble gas.

  6. Hexafluorophosphate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexafluorophosphate

    Practical uses of the hexafluorophosphate ion typically exploit one or more of the following properties: that it is a non-coordinating anion; that hexafluorophosphate compounds are typically soluble in organic solvents, particularly polar ones, but have low solubility in aqueous solution; or, that it has a high degree of stability, including ...

  7. Chemical polarity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_polarity

    When comparing a polar and nonpolar molecule with similar molar masses, the polar molecule in general has a higher boiling point, because the dipole–dipole interaction between polar molecules results in stronger intermolecular attractions. One common form of polar interaction is the hydrogen bond, which is also

    For ML a 4 L b 2, two isomers exist.These isomers of ML a 4 L b 2 are cis, if the L b ligands are mutually adjacent, and trans, if the L b groups are situated 180° to each other. It was the analysis of such complexes that led Alfred Werner to the 1913 Nobel Prize–winning postulation of octahedral complexes.

    The self-healing property refers to that if the SF6 is exposed to an arc, the SF6 disassociates into various sulfur, fluorine, and sulfur-fluorine molecules. When the arc shuts down, the sulfur reacts with the fluorine, producing SF6 again. The main thing is that the fluorine is not free to react with the circuit breaker parts.
