Correct Option - 4
Detailed Solution:
Sometimes, when maximum covalency is obtained, the halides become inert to water, thus SF? (or similarly CCl? ) is stable. This is because SF? is coordinately saturated and sterically hindered. Thus, SF? is inert to water, because of kinetic rather than thermodynamic factor.
A. PCl? + 4H? O → H? PO?
