    \[S{{F}_{6}}\]is a well known compound while \[S{{H}_{6}}\] does not exist. Explain

    Answer:

                    in both these compounds, sulphur is expected to show oxidation state of +6. This can happen is case two electrons from filled (3s and 3p) orbitals are promoted to vacant 3d orbitals. Only atoms of high electro negativity such as fluorine (4.0) can cause the promotion of electrons while the same is not possible with hydrogen with comparatively less electro negativity (2.1). Thus, \[S{{F}_{6}}\] can exist while \[S{{H}_{6}}\] cannot.
