Give reasons for the following observations :   Why `SF_(4)` undergoes hydrolysis but not `SF_(6)`?   Or `SF_(6)` is inert towards hydroysis.   `SF_(6)` is much less reactive than `SF_(4)`.   Or (i) `SF_(4)` is easily hydrolysed whereas `SF_(6)` is not easily hydrolysed.   (ii) Sulpher exhibits greater tendency for calenation than selenium.   (iii) Sulpher has a higher tendency for catenation than oxygen.
