We know that in SF 6 is not easily hydrolysed because here S atom is surrounded by 6 &#160; 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 &#960; bond in its structural formula.
