Rikkiheksafluoridi
Rikkiheksafluoridi, known in English as sulfur hexafluoride (SF6), is a chemical compound consisting of one sulfur atom surrounded by six fluorine atoms. It is a colorless, odorless, non-flammable gas at room temperature and is highly inert due to the strength of the sulfur–fluorine bonds.
Properties and characteristics
SF6 has a molecular weight of 146.05 g/mol and adopts an octahedral structure. Its boiling point is
SF6 is produced industrially by direct fluorination of sulfur with fluorine gas. Its primary use is as
Environmental and safety considerations
Because of its very high global warming potential and long atmospheric lifetime, emissions of SF6 are tightly
