Ans: Option (ii)

Hydrogen bond is the strongest in that molecules have a higher difference in electronegativity. Due to the small size of the oxygen atom, it has the highest electronegative character. So, H₂O molecules will have the strongest hydrogen bonding

HCl, HI and H₂Sdo not have hydrogen bonding between their atoms. So, H₂O will have the strongest hydrogen bonding.

Ans: Option (i)

(i) The molecule of BH₄ ^- has four bond pairs and zero lone pair of electrons, so it will be a tetrahedral molecule.

(ii) NH₂ ^- has two bond pairs and two lone pairs of electrons on the nitrogen atom. So, it will have a bent geometry.

(iii) CO₃ ^2- has three bond pairs and no lone pairs of electrons on carbon atoms. So, it will have a trigonal planar geometry.

(iv) H₃O⁺ has three bond pairs and one lone pair of electrons on oxygen atoms. So, it has a pyramidal geometry.
