Identify the incorrect statements among the following? (i) SF 6 does not react with water (ii) SF 6 is sp 3 d hybridized (iii) S 2 O 3 2 - is a linear ion (iv) There is no π -bonding in SO 4 2 - ion
Options
- A(ii), (iii) & (iv) only
- B(i), (ii) & (iii) only
- C(i) & (ii) only
- D(iii) & (iv) only
Correct answer
A. (ii), (iii) & (iv) only
Step-by-step solution
We know that in SF 6 is not easily hydrolysed because here S atom is surrounded by 6   F atom so it's complicated for H 2 O to attack at SF 6 due to stearic hindrance. The hybridisation of SF 6 is sp 3 d 2 due to six bond pairs and zero lone pair. The molecular geometry of S 2 O 3 2 - is tetrahedral. SO 4 2 - contains π bond in its structural formula.
