Question

Why does SCl6 not exist but SF6 and SBr6 exist

Answer 1

This is due to the difference in size of flourine and chlorine. Flourine being smaller in size accommodate its six atoms in given space of sulphur while chlorine being bigger in size is not able to accommodate itself due to repulsion between its six atoms. That's why SF6 is known but SCL6 is not known.

I hope this is correct and if it helped you please mark it brainliest

Answer 2

Answer:As fluorine has small size in comparision with chlorine. Fluorine is a strong oxidising agent than chlorine so it oxidises sulphur easily forming an oxidation state of +6 hence forms SF6 where chlorine is weak oxidising agent so its maximum oxidation state form is +4 so SCl4 is formed but not SCl6
