Assertion:- `SF_(6)` cannot be hydrolysed but `SF_(4)` can be.
Reason:- Six F atoms in `SF_(6)` prevent the attack of `H_(2)O` on sulphur atom of `SF_(6)`

A

Both Assertion and Reason are correct statements , and Reason is the correct explation of the Assertion.

B

Both Assertion and Reason are correct statements , and Reason is not the correct explanation of the Assertion.

C

Assertion is correct, but Reason is wrong statement.

D

Assertion is wrong but Reason is correct statement.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Assertion and reason both are true and reason is the correct explaination of assertion.
`SF_(4)` can be hydrolysed but `SF_(6)` can not because six F- atoms in `SF_(6)` prevent the attack of `H_(2)O` on sulphur atoms of `SF_(6)`.

Assertion :- SF_(6) cannot be hydrolysed SP_(4) can be Reason :- Six F atoms in SF_(6) prevent the attack of H_(2)O on sulphur atom of SF_(6)

SF_(6) is not easily hydrolysed whereas SF_(4) can be. Assign reason.

Number of planar atoms in SF_(6) is

Assertion (R) SF_(6) is known but SCl_(6) is not. Reason (R) Due to small size of F.

How many electrons will be around S in SF_(6) ?

Give reasons for the following observations : Why SF_(4) undergoes hydrolysis but not SF_(6) ? Or SF_(6) is inert towards hydroysis. SF_(6) is much less reactive than SF_(4) . Or (i) SF_(4) is easily hydrolysed whereas SF_(6) is not easily hydrolysed. (ii) Sulpher exhibits greater tendency for calenation than selenium. (iii) Sulpher has a higher tendency for catenation than oxygen.

Explain why : SF_(6) is inert and stable but SF_(4) is reactive.
