\(\mathrm{SF}_6\) is a kinetically inert substance because
- A fluorine is highly electronegative
- B it is sterically protected
- C greater difference in electronegativities of \(\mathrm{S}\) and \(\mathrm{F}\)
- D larger size of S-atom
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) it is sterically protected
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
In \(\mathrm{SF}_6\), sulphur is \(s p^3 d^2\) hybridised. Both geometry and shape of the molecule is octahedral. \(\mathrm{SF}_6\) is also a non-polar molecule (dipole moment, \(\mu=0\) ), because if \(a^{-}\)and sterically protected perfectly symmetrical molecule. So,…
