    A yellow metallic powder is burnt in a stream of fluorine to obtain a colourless gas X which is thermally stable and chemically inert. Its molecule has octahedral geometry. Another colourless gas Y with same constituent atoms as that of X is obtained when sulphur dichloride is heated with sodium fluoride. Its molecule has trigonal bipyramidal geometry. Gases X and Y are respectively.

    A)  \[S{{F}_{4}}\] and \[{{S}_{2}}{{F}_{2}}\]     

    B)  \[S{{F}_{4}}\] and \[S{{F}_{6}}\]

    C)  \[S{{F}_{6}}\] and \[S{{F}_{4}}\]     

    D)  \[NaF\] and \[NaCl\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Yellow powder is sulphur. Colourless gas (X) having octahedral structure is \[S{{F}_{6}}\]. Colourless gas (Y) is \[S{{F}_{4}}\]. \[\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  Yellow \\  powder \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{S}}\,+3{{F}_{2}}\xrightarrow{\Delta }\underset{(X)\,colourless\,gas}{\mathop{S{{F}_{6}}}}\,\] \[3SC{{l}_{2}}+4NaF\xrightarrow{\Delta }\underset{(Y)\,Colourless}{\mathop{S{{F}_{4}}}}\,+{{S}_{2}}C{{l}_{2}}+4NaCl\]
