$TeF_6$

Vedclass · Answer

(D) The hydrolysis of $SX_6$ type compounds is governed by steric hindrance and the availability of vacant $d$-orbitals.$SF_6$ is kinetically inert to hydrolysis due to the high steric hindrance provided by six fluorine atoms around the central sulfur atom,which prevents the attack of water molecules.$SCl_6$ is not a stable compound.$SeF_6$ and $TeF_6$ also show resistance to hydrolysis due to steric factors,but as the size of the central atom increases from $S$ to $Te$,the steric hindrance decreases,making $TeF_6$ more susceptible to hydrolysis compared to $SF_6$.However,among the given options,$TeF_6$ is the most susceptible to hydrolysis because the larger size of the $Te$ atom reduces the steric crowding compared to $SF_6$ and $SeF_6$.
