This is a matching answer type question as classified in NCERT Exemplar
Correct option is (i)
In XeF6, the central Xe atom undergoes sp3d3 hybridisation and the molecular geometry is distorted octahedral with 1 lone pair and 6 bond pairs of electrons.
In XeO3, the central Xe atom undergoes sp3 hybridisation and the molecular geometry is pyramidal with 1 lone pair and 3 bonding domains of electrons.
In XeOF4, the central Xe atom undergoes sp3d2 hybridization and the molecular geometry is square pyramidal with 1 lone pair and 5 bond pairs of electrons.
In XeF4, the central Xe atom undergoes&nb

Correct option is (i)Here, the S atom is surrounded by 6F atoms, so it's complected for H2O to attack SF6, but in case of SF4, it's surrounded by 4F atoms, so it's to attack H2O.

This is a assertion and reason answer type question as classified in NCERT Exemplar
Correct option is (i)
When NaCl reacts with concentrated H2SO4, it produces colourless fumes with a pungent smell, but when MnO2 is added, the fumes turn greenish yellow. MnO2 oxidizes HCl to chlorine gas, which then turns greenish yellow.

Correct option is (i)
The rhombic and the monoclinic forms of sulphur exist as S8 . Oxygen forms a p\pi - p\pi multiple bond due to its small size and short bond length, but Pπ- Pπ bonding is not possible because of sulphur's larger atomic size.

Correct option is (ii)
Because H2SO4 is a stronger oxidising agent and HI is a stronger reducing agent, H2SO4 oxidizes and is reduced to SO2.

Correct option is (iii)
Nitrogen gas has a complete octet structure for both atoms and is unreactive due to the presence of a strong triple bond. On the other hand, phosphor has bonds with unstable angles strains compared to nitrogen, therefore it burns quickly, thus readily reacts. Nitrogen has a lower electron gain enthalpy than phosphorus.

Correct option is (ii) and (iii)

Here fig (b) contains one S-S bond.
The oxidising behaviour of H2SO4 is represented by (ii) and (iii) among the aforementioned four. It oxidises HI in reaction (ii) and then reduces to SO2.
The oxidation state of sulphur's core atom drops from +6 to +4. It oxidises copper in (iii) and is reduced to SO2.
