Answer:
Sulphur has 6 Valance electrons so according to VBT it can form maximum of 6 covalent bonds. Same is with Oxygen but that can form maximum of 3 covalent bonds. This is because of availablity of vacant d orbitals in Sulphur, which can accommodate extra electrons other than octet. Thus sulphur forms SF6.
