1.

Assign reason for the following:SF6 is known but SH6 is not.R3P = O exists but R3N = O is not.

Answer»
  1. Sulphur is more electropositive than fluorine but less electropositive than H, hence only possible compound with hydrogen is H2S and not SH6.
  2. There is vacant d-orbital is available in P so dπ-pπ bond is possible between phosphorus and oxygen, whereas it is not possible between N and O. So R3N = O is not likely to form.
