Hence it doesn't undergo hydrolysis. However, TeF6 which is in the same group as Sulphur can undergo hydrolysis as Tellurium is much bigger in size and can provide enough space for incoming water molecules to donate its lone pair in the vacant d-orbitals. ... For the same reasons SiCl4can also get hydrolysed easily.
