Subjective Type

State reasons for the following: $$SF_{6}$$ is kinetically an inert substance.

Solution

In $$SF_{6}, S$$ atom is sterically protected by six $$F$$ atoms and does not allow water molecules to attack the $$S$$ atom. Further, $$F$$ does not have $$d-orbitals$$ to accept the electrons donated by $$H_{2}O$$ molecules. Due to these reasons, $$SF_{6}$$ is kinetically an inert substance.
