Why SF6 is known but SH6 is not known ?...

Why `SF_6` is known but `SH_6` is not known ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Flourine being the strongest oxidising agent oxidises sulphur to its maximum oxidation state of +6 and thus forms `SF_6`. In contrast `H_2` being a very weak oxidising agent cannot oxidise S to its maximum oxidation state of +6 and hence does not form `SH_6`
