I was looking at sulfur hexafluoride and noticed that the sulfur forms 6 bonds with fluorine. Wouldn't 2 bonds put it at 8 valence electrons? How does it form so many extra bonds when it only needs 2?
Edit: I should word this as "How does sulfur form 6 bonds with fluorine? Wouldn't that give it 12 valence electrons?"
Thanks.
