solution . But being an acid - catalysed reaction, the acid present originally as catalyst, also react with NaOH solution.
Hence a little careful thought reveals that for the same volume of reaction mixture withdrawn at different

Solutions

1. (A) In the absence of steric effects, replacement of X in the structure X – A –Y by a more electronegative
group causes the adjacent A – Y bond to become shorter. Replacement of a substituent by a more
electronegative atom causes a rehybridisation, i.e., a shift of p-character to the orbital involved in bonding
to electronegative atom and shift of S character to other bonds. Hence the other bond strengthened and
shortened.

SF6 is more likely to react by a dissociative mechanism, since S 6+ is smaller and has reached its maximum total
coordination number and is therefore unlikely to associate another F . SeF6 is more likely to react by an
associative mechanism. SeF6 is more likely to react rapidly. Dissociation of F  from very strongly acidic S 6+ or Se6+ is
likely to have a high activation energy.
