SCI_(6) is not known but SF_(6) is known. Give reasons. |
| Answer» Solution :Fluorine is a much stronger oxidising agent than chlorine, therefore, it can EASILY oxidise sulphur to its maximum oxidation state of+6 and hence FRMS `SF_(6)`. Chlorine, on the other HAND, being a WEAKER oxidising agent can oxidise sulphur at the maximum to its +4 oxidation state and hence can form `SCI_(4)` but not `SCI_(6)`. | |
