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.
