Ans: Option (iv)

The electronic configuration of B given as 1S² 2S²  2P⁶ 3S² 3P³ which represents phosphorous atom. The electronic configuration of C is given as 1S² 2S²  2P⁶ 3S² 3P⁵   which represents chlorine molecule.

So, the molecular formula representing B and C will be phosphorous trichloride ( PCl₃ ) which corresponds to BC₃ .

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.
