Halides formed by 16th group elements are….MF6, MX4, MX2, M2X2;

Thermal stability…..F->Cl->Br->I- ;

MF6…SF6,SeF6,TeF6….Inert due to steric reasons….Gases….sp3d2(6 bp)….octahedral….SF6….Insulator ;

SF4…Gas….Fluorinating agent ; SeF4…Liquid ; TeF4…Solid ;

MX4….See saw (or) distorted tetrahedral…sp3d(4 bp+ 1 lp) ;

SCl4+4H2OS(OH)4+4HCl ;

S(OH)4H2SO3+H2O ;

MX2…angular…sp3(2 bp+2 lp) ; SCl2 and OF2…1020 ;

M2X2….Non linear non planar molecule…open book structure…polar molecule;

2Se2Cl2SeCl4+3Se ….Disproportionation ;

2Se+12Cl2Se+4Cl4+Se ;0 EW of Se2Cl2=MTotal decrease in O.Sas oxidant+MTotal inrease in O.Sas reductant; EW of Se2Cl2=MTotal decrease in O.Sas oxidant+MTotal inrease in O.Sas reductant; EW of Se2Cl2=M2as oxidant+M6as reductant ;
