An inert gas is used as an electrical insulator.
Sulfur hexafluoride (SF 6)) is a very potent and long-lasting greenhouse gas that is primarily used as an electrical insulator and arc suppressor. It is non-flammable, non-toxic, inorganic, colorless, and odorless.
The sulfur atom's steric hindrance plays a significant role in the inertness of SF6, whereas SeF 6 and other heavieSFroup 16 equivalents are more reactive than SF 6 due to less steric hindrance.
However, it reacts exothermically with lithium and does not interact with molten sodium below its boiling point.
