Answer:
SF6 is inert cause it is sterically protected by 6F atoms so hydrolysis can't take place while SF4 is not sterically protected as it only has 4F atoms hence hydrolysis can take place.

Answer:
SF4 is asymmetrical and has a lone pair of electrons on the sulphur atom, which can react further. In SF6, all of the electrons are paired, giving great stability to the molecule and reducing its reactivity
