Mix Examples-Chemical Bonding Questions in English

(D) $1$. $XeF_4$ has a square planar geometry due to $sp^3d^2$ hybridization with two lone pairs on the $Xe$ atom,meaning all atoms lie in the same plane.
$2$. $BF_3$ has a trigonal planar geometry due to $sp^2$ hybridization,meaning all atoms lie in the same plane.
$3$. $PF_5$ has a trigonal bipyramidal geometry,where atoms are not in a single plane.
$4$. Therefore,both $XeF_4$ and $BF_3$ have all atoms in one plane.

(D) $1$. $SH_6$: Sulfur has a valence shell configuration of $3s^2 3p^4$. While it can expand its octet to form $SF_6$ due to the high electronegativity of fluorine,hydrogen is not electronegative enough to stabilize the high oxidation state of sulfur in $SH_6$. Thus,$SH_6$ does not exist.
$2$. $HFO_4$: Fluorine is the most electronegative element and cannot exhibit positive oxidation states in oxoacids like $HFO_4$. The structure is chemically unstable and does not exist.
$3$. $FeI_3$: Iron$(III)$ iodide $(FeI_3)$ is unstable because the $Fe^{3+}$ ion is a strong oxidizing agent and the $I^-$ ion is a strong reducing agent. They undergo a redox reaction to form $FeI_2$ and $I_2$. Therefore,$FeI_3$ does not exist in a stable form.
$4$. Since all the given compounds do not exist,the correct option is $D$.

(C) In a methane molecule $(CH_4)$,the carbon atom is $sp^3$ hybridized,resulting in a tetrahedral geometry.
To find the number of planes containing the maximum number of atoms (which is $3$ atoms in this case),we consider the combinations of atoms:
$1$. Planes containing $3$ atoms: Any $3$ atoms in a molecule define a plane. In $CH_4$,there are $4$ atoms of Hydrogen and $1$ atom of Carbon. The number of ways to choose $3$ atoms out of $5$ is given by $^5C_3 = \frac{5 \times 4}{2 \times 1} = 10$.
$2$. These $10$ planes consist of:
- $6$ planes formed by $H-C-H$ bonds.
- $4$ planes formed by $H-H-H$ combinations.
Thus,the total number of such planes is $10$.

(D) To determine if species are isostructural,we calculate the hybridization and geometry based on the number of bonding pairs and lone pairs.
$1$. $KrF_2$ and $ICl_2^-$: Both have $sp^3d$ hybridization with $3$ lone pairs on the central atom,resulting in a linear geometry.
$2$. $NH_2^-$ and $CH_3OCH_3$: Both have $sp^3$ hybridization with $2$ lone pairs on the central atom ($N$ and $O$ respectively),resulting in a bent ($V$-shaped) geometry.
$3$. $SF_4$ and $XeO_2F_2$: Both have $sp^3d$ hybridization with $1$ lone pair on the central atom,resulting in a see-saw geometry.
Since all given pairs are isostructural,the correct option is $D$.

(D) The structure of sulphur trioxide trimer $(S_3O_9)$ consists of a cyclic ring where three $SO_3$ units are linked through oxygen atoms.
In this structure,each sulphur atom is bonded to two oxygen atoms within the ring and two terminal oxygen atoms via double bonds.
There are no direct $S-S$ bonds present in the molecule.
Therefore,the number of $S-S$ bonds is $0$.
Hence,option $D$ is correct.

(A) In $Ni(CO)_4$,the bonding involves $d\pi -p\pi$ back-bonding from $Ni$ to $CO$,but it does not contain $p\pi -d\pi$ bonds.
In $(SiH_3)_3N$,the lone pair on $N$ is donated into the vacant $d$-orbital of $Si$,forming a $p\pi -d\pi$ bond.
In $P_4O_{10}$,the $P=O$ bonds involve $p\pi -d\pi$ back-bonding from $O$ to $P$.
In $N_2O_5$,the structure involves $N=O$ bonds,but since $N$ lacks $d$-orbitals,it cannot form $p\pi -d\pi$ bonds. However,the question asks for the exception among the given options. Comparing the options,$Ni(CO)_4$ is the most distinct as it involves $d\pi -p\pi$ back-bonding,whereas $N_2O_5$ is a covalent oxide. Given the standard context of this question,$Ni(CO)_4$ is the intended answer as it lacks $p\pi -d\pi$ character entirely.

(D) The formation of stable $p\pi-p\pi$ multiple bonds requires atoms of similar size and energy.
Carbon has a small size and high electronegativity,allowing it to form stable $C=O$,$C=S$,and $C=Se$ bonds.
However,the $Te$ atom is much larger than the $C$ atom,leading to a significant energy mismatch between the $2p$ orbitals of carbon and the $5p$ orbitals of tellurium.
Consequently,effective orbital overlap is not possible,and the $CTe_2$ molecule does not exist.

(B) The bond energy of $O-O$ is exceptionally low due to the high inter-electronic repulsion between the lone pairs of the small $O$ atoms.
Among the remaining chalcogens,the bond energy decreases down the group as the atomic size increases.
Therefore,the $S-S$ bond has the highest bond energy among the given options.

(B) For $(a)$: Bond length is inversely proportional to bond order. Bond orders are $CO (3)$,$CO_2 (2)$,$CO_3^{2-} (1.33)$. Thus,the bond length order $CO < CO_2 < CO_3^{2-}$ is correct.
For $(b)$: Bond orders are $O_2 (2)$,$O_3 (1.5)$,$O_2^{2-} (1)$. Thus,the bond length order $O_2 < O_3 < O_2^{2-}$ is correct.
For $(c)$: Bond energy is directly proportional to bond order. Bond order of $N_2$ is $3$ and $N_2^+$ is $2.5$. Thus,$N_2 > N_2^+$. The given order $N_2 < N_2^+$ is incorrect.
Therefore,only $(a)$ and $(b)$ are correct.

(A) To be isoelectronic,the species must have the same number of electrons.
$NO_3^-: 7 + (3 \times 8) + 1 = 32 \ e^-$
$CO_3^{2-}: 6 + (3 \times 8) + 2 = 32 \ e^-$
$ClO_3^-: 17 + (3 \times 8) + 1 = 42 \ e^-$
$SO_3: 16 + (3 \times 8) = 40 \ e^-$
Thus,$NO_3^-$ and $CO_3^{2-}$ are isoelectronic.
Both $NO_3^-$ and $CO_3^{2-}$ have a central atom with $sp^2$ hybridization and no lone pairs,resulting in a trigonal planar geometry.
Therefore,$NO_3^-$ and $CO_3^{2-}$ are both isoelectronic and isostructural.

(D) In compound $(I)$,the lone pair of electrons on the $N$ atom is partially donated to the empty $d$-orbitals of $Si$ through $p\pi-d\pi$ back-bonding.
This decreases the electron density available for $p\pi-p\pi$ back-bonding with the empty $p$-orbital of $B$.
In compound $(II)$,$C$ has no empty $d$-orbitals,so the lone pair on $N$ is fully available for $p\pi-p\pi$ back-bonding with $B$.
Therefore,the $\pi$-bond strength is greater in $(II)$,i.e.,$II > I$.

(D) The octet rule states that atoms tend to form bonds such that they have $8$ electrons in their valence shell.
In $CO_2$,carbon has $8$ electrons and oxygen has $8$ electrons.
In $H_2O$,oxygen has $8$ electrons and hydrogen has $2$ electrons (duplet rule).
In $O_2$,both oxygen atoms have $8$ electrons.
In $CO$,carbon has $6$ electrons and oxygen has $8$ electrons.
Since carbon in $CO$ has only $6$ electrons,it does not obey the octet rule.

(B) In $NaOH$,the bond between $Na^+$ and $OH^-$ is ionic.
Within the hydroxide ion $(OH^-)$,the bond between oxygen and hydrogen is covalent.
Therefore,$NaOH$ contains both ionic and covalent bonds.
$NaCl$ is purely ionic.
$H_2O$ and $HCl_{(g)}$ are purely covalent.

(B) From the given structure,we can observe the valency of each element based on the number of bonds formed:
$1$. Element $X$ forms $2$ single bonds and $1$ double bond,implying a total of $4$ bonds. This corresponds to a valency of $4$.
$2$. Element $Y$ forms $2$ single bonds and $1$ double bond,implying a total of $4$ bonds. This corresponds to a valency of $4$.
$3$. Element $Z$ forms $1$ single bond,implying a valency of $1$.
Analyzing option $D$: If $X = P$,$Y = Si$,and $Z = H$,the structure corresponds to a derivative of a cyclic silane or similar compound,but let's re-evaluate based on standard valency.
Actually,looking at the structure: $X$ is bonded to two $Y$ atoms (one double,one single),$Y$ is bonded to two $Z$ atoms and two $X$ atoms.
If $X = N$,$Y = P$,$Z = Cl$,this matches the structure of phosphonitrilic chloride $(NPCl_2)_3$ where $N$ is $X$,$P$ is $Y$,and $Cl$ is $Z$.
In $(NPCl_2)_3$,$N$ has a valency of $3$ (forming $2$ bonds in the ring and $1$ lone pair),and $P$ has a valency of $5$ (forming $4$ bonds in the ring and $2$ bonds to $Cl$). The provided diagram shows $X$ forming $3$ bonds and $Y$ forming $4$ bonds.
Thus,$X=N$ (valency $3$),$Y=P$ (valency $5$),$Z=Cl$ (valency $1$) fits the chemical connectivity.

(A) The ozone molecule $(O_3)$ has a bent structure with resonance.
In the resonance hybrid,there are two $O-O$ bonds.
One bond is a single bond ($\sigma$ bond) and the other is a double bond (one $\sigma$ bond and one $\pi$ bond).
Thus,the total number of $\sigma$ bonds is $2$ and the total number of $\pi$ bonds is $1$.

(A) $1$. Analyze the hybridization and polarity of each compound:
- $H_2CO_3$: The central carbon atom is bonded to three oxygen atoms (one double bond,two single bonds). It has $3$ sigma bonds and $0$ lone pairs,resulting in $sp^2$ hybridization. Due to the difference in electronegativity between $C$,$O$,and $H$,the molecule is polar.
- $SiF_4$: The central silicon atom has $4$ sigma bonds and $0$ lone pairs,resulting in $sp^3$ hybridization. It is non-polar due to its tetrahedral geometry.
- $BF_3$: The central boron atom has $3$ sigma bonds and $0$ lone pairs,resulting in $sp^2$ hybridization. It is non-polar due to its symmetrical trigonal planar geometry.
- $HClO_4$: The central chlorine atom is bonded to four oxygen atoms,resulting in $sp^3$ hybridization.
$2$. Conclusion: $H_2CO_3$ is the only compound that is polar and has a central atom with $sp^2$ hybridization.

(C) The stability of these cations depends on the electronegativity of the central atom.
According to the principle of electronegativity,a more electronegative atom holds a positive charge more effectively than a less electronegative atom.
The electronegativity values of the central atoms are: $C (2.5) < N (3.0) < O (3.5) < F (4.0)$.
However,in these specific species,$NH_4^+$ is a well-known,highly stable species (ammonium ion) where the nitrogen atom completes its octet and forms four stable covalent bonds.
$CH_5^+$ is a hypervalent species (methonium ion) that is less stable.
$OH_3^+$ (hydronium ion) and $FH_2^+$ are also known,but $NH_4^+$ is the most stable among the given options due to the favorable electronic configuration and octet completion.

(D) The structure of $P_4O_{10}$ consists of a $P_4$ tetrahedral core where each $P$ atom is bonded to three other $P$ atoms via an oxygen bridge $(-P-O-P-)$.
There are $6$ such $P-O-P$ bonds.
Additionally,each of the $4$ phosphorus atoms is bonded to a terminal oxygen atom via a double bond $(P=O)$.
This gives $4$ $P=O$ bonds.
Each $P-O-P$ bond contains $1$ $\sigma$ bond,and each $P=O$ bond contains $1$ $\sigma$ bond and $1$ $\pi$ bond.
Total $\sigma$ bonds = $6$ (from $P-O-P$) + $4$ (from $P=O$) + $6$ (from $P-O-P$ bridges) is incorrect; let us recount:
There are $6$ $P-O-P$ linkages,each having $2$ $\sigma$ bonds ($P-O$ and $O-P$),totaling $12$ $\sigma$ bonds.
There are $4$ $P=O$ bonds,each having $1$ $\sigma$ bond,totaling $4$ $\sigma$ bonds.
Total $\sigma$ bonds = $12 + 4 = 16$.

(A) Let us analyze the bond angles for each pair:
$(a) BF_3$ and $BCl_3$ are both $sp^2$ hybridized with trigonal planar geometry,so both have bond angles of $120^{\circ}$.
$(b) PO_4^{3-}$ and $SO_4^{2-}$ are both $sp^3$ hybridized with tetrahedral geometry,so both have bond angles of $109.5^{\circ}$.
$(c) BF_3$ is trigonal planar $(120^{\circ})$,while $PF_3$ is trigonal pyramidal ($sp^3$ with one lone pair,angle $\approx 96^{\circ}$).
$(d) NO_2^+$ and $N_2O$ are both linear molecules with $sp$ hybridization,so both have bond angles of $180^{\circ}$.
$(e) N_3^-$ is linear $(180^{\circ})$,while $NO_2$ is bent ($sp^2$ with one odd electron,angle $\approx 134^{\circ}$).
Thus,pairs $(a), (b),$ and $(d)$ have the same bond angles.

(B) To determine the total number of $\sigma$ and $\pi$ bonds,we analyze the structures:
$I. \ H_2S_2O_6$ (Dithionic acid): The structure contains $7 \ \sigma$ bonds and $4 \ \pi$ bonds. Total = $11$.
$II. \ H_2SO_3$ (Sulfurous acid): The structure contains $4 \ \sigma$ bonds and $1 \ \pi$ bond. Total = $5$.
$III. \ H_2SO_5$ (Peroxomonosulfuric acid): The structure contains $6 \ \sigma$ bonds and $2 \ \pi$ bonds. Total = $8$.
Comparing the totals: $II \ (5) < III \ (8) < I \ (11)$.
Thus,the correct increasing order is $II, III, I$.

(B) $1$. For $NH_3$ and $NF_3$: The dipole moment of $NH_3$ $(1.46 \ D)$ is greater than $NF_3$ $(0.24 \ D)$ because in $NH_3$,the orbital dipole and bond dipoles are in the same direction,whereas in $NF_3$,they oppose each other. Thus,$NH_3 > NF_3$. Option $A$ is incorrect.
$2$. For $CO$ and $CO_2$: The bond order of $CO$ is $3$ $(C \equiv O)$,and the bond order of $CO_2$ is $2$ $(O=C=O)$. Higher bond order implies shorter bond length. Thus,$CO < CO_2$ is correct. Option $B$ is correct.
$3$. For $NH_2^-$ and $NH_4^+$: $NH_2^-$ has $sp^3$ hybridization with $2$ lone pairs (bond angle $\approx 104.5^\circ$),while $NH_4^+$ has $sp^3$ hybridization with $0$ lone pairs (bond angle $109.5^\circ$). Thus,$NH_2^- < NH_4^+$. Option $C$ is incorrect.
$4$. For $I_3^-$ and $N_3^-$: $I_3^-$ has $3$ lone pairs on the central $I$ atom,while $N_3^-$ has $0$ lone pairs on the central $N$ atom. Thus,$I_3^- > N_3^-$. Option $D$ is incorrect.

(B) When a chemical bond is formed,the potential energy of the system decreases. The distance between two atoms at which the potential energy is minimum is known as the bond length.

(C) The strength of $\pi-$ bonds depends on the extent of orbital overlap.
$I$. In $BO_3^{3-}, CO_3^{2-}, NO_3^{-}$,the central atoms are $B, C, N$ respectively. As the electronegativity of the central atom increases,the effective nuclear charge increases,leading to better $p\pi-p\pi$ overlap. Thus,the order is $BO_3^{3-} < CO_3^{2-} < NO_3^{-}$.
$II$. In oxoanions like $ClO_4^{-}, SO_4^{2-}, PO_4^{3-}$,the $\pi-$ bond strength increases with the increase in the electronegativity of the central atom,which facilitates better $p\pi-d\pi$ overlap. Thus,$ClO_4^{-} > SO_4^{2-} > PO_4^{3-}$.
$III$. In boron trihalides,back bonding occurs via $p\pi-p\pi$ overlap. The extent of overlap is $2p-2p$ $(BF_3)$ > $2p-3p$ $(BCl_3)$ > $2p-4p$ $(BBr_3)$. Thus,$BF_3 > BCl_3 > BBr_3$.
$IV$. In $AlCl_3$,the $Al$ atom has $3p$ orbitals,while in $BCl_3$,$B$ has $2p$ orbitals. The $2p-3p$ overlap in $BCl_3$ is stronger than the $3p-3p$ overlap in $AlCl_3$. Thus,$BCl_3 > AlCl_3$.
Therefore,statements $I, II,$ and $III$ are correct.

(D) For a molecule $MX_4$ to be non-polar with no lone pair on the central atom,it must have a highly symmetric geometry such that the dipole moments cancel out.
$1$. If the geometry is tetrahedral ($sp^3$ hybridization),the bond angle is $109^o28'$.
$2$. If the geometry is square planar ($dsp^2$ hybridization),the bond angle is $90^o$.
$3$. If the geometry is linear ($sp^3d^2$ or similar symmetric arrangements),the bond angle can be $180^o$.
Therefore,all the given bond angles are possible depending on the specific geometry of the $MX_4$ molecule.

(D) The Born-Haber cycle is a thermodynamic cycle used to relate the lattice energy of an ionic crystal to other thermochemical data.
It involves steps such as sublimation energy,ionization energy,bond dissociation energy,electron gain enthalpy $(\Delta_{eg}H)$,and lattice energy $(L.E.)$.
By applying Hess's law,the sum of enthalpy changes for these steps equals the total enthalpy of formation $(\Delta_fH)$.
Therefore,it is used to calculate $\Delta_{eg}H$ and lattice energy $(L.E.)$.
Thus,the correct options are $I$ and $IV$.

(A) The formal charge is calculated using the formula: $\text{Formal Charge} = \text{Total valence electrons} - \text{Non-bonding electrons} - \frac{1}{2} \times \text{Bonding electrons}$.
For the left $N$ atom: $5 - 4 - \frac{1}{2}(4) = 5 - 4 - 2 = -1$.
For the middle $N$ atom: $5 - 0 - \frac{1}{2}(8) = 5 - 4 = +1$.
For the right $N$ atom: $5 - 4 - \frac{1}{2}(4) = 5 - 4 - 2 = -1$.
Thus,the formal charges from left to right are $-1, +1, -1$.

(A) The anhydride of sulphuric acid $(H_{2}SO_{4})$ is sulphur trioxide $(SO_{3})$.
In the structure of $SO_{3}$,the sulphur atom is bonded to three oxygen atoms by double bonds.
Each double bond consists of one $\sigma$ bond and one $\pi$ bond.
Therefore,there are $3$ $\sigma$ bonds and $3$ $\pi$ bonds in the $SO_{3}$ molecule.
The correct option is $A$.

(D) Both solid $BeH_2$ and solid $BeCl_2$ are polymeric in nature.
In solid $BeH_2$,the structure is a three-dimensional polymer with $Be$ atoms linked by hydrogen bridges ($Be-H-Be$ bonds).
In solid $BeCl_2$,the structure is a linear chain polymer with $Be$ atoms linked by chlorine bridges ($Be-Cl-Be$ bonds).
Both compounds exhibit $sp^3$ hybridisation of the $Be$ atom and both are non-planar.
Both compounds have an incomplete octet in the monomeric state,but in the polymeric state,they achieve a stable electron configuration through bridging.
However,the fundamental difference often cited in structural chemistry regarding these specific solids is their polymeric nature,but since both are polymers,we must look for a distinction. Actually,both are polymeric. The question might be flawed as both share these properties. However,if we consider the nature of bonding,$BeH_2$ is electron-deficient and polymeric,and $BeCl_2$ is also polymeric. Given the options,there is no significant difference in these properties. If forced to choose,they are similar in all listed aspects.

(C) For $H_2O_2$ $(H-O-O-H)$,the bond order $(B.O.)$ is $1$.
For $O_2$ $(O=O)$,the bond order $(B.O.)$ is $2$.
For $O_3$ (Resonance hybrid),the bond order $(B.O.)$ is $1.5$.
Bond length is inversely proportional to bond order $(B.O.)$.
Order of $B.O.$: $O_2 (2) > O_3 (1.5) > H_2O_2 (1)$.
Therefore,the order of bond length is: $II < III < I$.

(D) $1$. $BeCl_2$ is covalent,while $LiCl$ is ionic. Ionic compounds have higher electrical conductivity in molten state,so $BeCl_2 < LiCl$ is correct.
$2$. Thermal stability of ionic compounds increases with the lattice energy and the charge density of the cation. $NaF < MgF_2 < AlF_3$ is correct as the charge on the cation increases.
$3$. For sulfates of alkaline earth metals,the thermal stability increases down the group as the size of the cation increases,making the lattice more stable. Thus,$BeSO_4 < MgSO_4 < CaSO_4$ is correct.
$4$. Solubility of lithium halides in water depends on the hydration energy vs lattice energy. $LiF$ is the least soluble due to very high lattice energy,while $LiI$ is the most soluble. The correct order is $LiF < LiCl < LiBr < LiI$. Therefore,option $D$ is the incorrect order.

(C) In $BF_3$,the boron atom has only $6$ electrons in its valence shell (an incomplete octet).
Due to this electron deficiency,it acts as a strong Lewis acid by accepting a lone pair of electrons from other molecules.
This property makes it an effective catalyst in various industrial organic reactions,such as Friedel-Crafts alkylation and polymerization.

(A) $1$. $B_2H_6$ (diborane) is a classic example of an electron-deficient molecule because it has only $12$ valence electrons,which are insufficient to form the required number of covalent bonds for its structure,leading to $3c-2e$ (three-center two-electron) bonds. Thus,statement $A$ is incorrect.
$2$. $BF_3$ has a trigonal planar geometry,and due to its symmetry,the individual $B-F$ bond dipoles cancel each other out,resulting in a net dipole moment of zero. Statement $B$ is correct.
$3$. Hydroboration-oxidation is a stereospecific syn-addition reaction that follows anti-Markovnikov's rule to produce alcohols. Statement $C$ is correct.
$4$. $BF_3$ is trigonal planar ($sp^2$ hybridization),whereas $BrF_3$ is $T$-shaped ($sp^3d$ hybridization with two lone pairs on $Br$). Their shapes are indeed different. Statement $D$ is correct.

(D) The structure of $Al_2Cl_6$ is a dimer where two $AlCl_3$ units are linked by two bridging chlorine atoms.
In this structure,there are two types of $Al-Cl$ bonds:
$1$. Terminal $Al-Cl$ bonds: There are $4$ terminal bonds which are shorter and identical.
$2$. Bridging $Al-Cl$ bonds: There are $2$ bridging bonds which are longer and identical.
Therefore,$4$ bonds are identical (terminal) and $2$ bonds are identical (bridging),meaning $2$ bonds are different from the other $4$.

(D) $BCl_3$ is a covalent molecule with a trigonal planar geometry.
It is an electron-deficient compound with an incomplete octet on the boron atom,which makes it a strong Lewis acid.
Unlike $AlCl_3$,$BCl_3$ does not form a dimer because the small size of the boron atom prevents the formation of a stable bridged structure.
Due to back-bonding from the chlorine lone pair to the empty $p$-orbital of boron,the $B-Cl$ bond acquires some double-bond character.
This back-bonding results in a bond length that is shorter than a standard $B-Cl$ single bond.
Therefore,the statement that all $B-Cl$ bonds are longer than a single bond is incorrect.

(D) $1$. $CO_2$ is a linear molecule with $sp$ hybridization at the carbon atom,making it non-polar due to the cancellation of dipole moments.
$2$. $H_2CO_3$ (carbonic acid) is formed by the reaction of $CO_2$ with water $(CO_2 + H_2O \rightarrow H_2CO_3)$.
$3$. In $CO_2$,carbon is $sp$ hybridized. In $H_2CO_3$,the carbon atom is $sp^2$ hybridized because it is bonded to three oxygen atoms (one double bond and two single bonds).
$4$. Therefore,the statement that carbon is $sp^2$ hybridized in both $CO_2$ and $H_2CO_3$ is incorrect.

(C) In the solid state,$PCl_5$ exists as an ionic solid.
It undergoes auto-ionization to form $[PCl_4]^+$ (tetrahedral) and $[PCl_6]^-$ (octahedral) ions.
Therefore,the correct representation is $[PCl_4]^+ [PCl_6]^-$.

(C) The compound $K_2CS_3$ is the potassium salt of thiocarbonic acid $(H_2CS_3)$.
In this compound,the oxygen atoms of the carbonate ion $(CO_3^{2-})$ are replaced by sulfur atoms.
Therefore,the name of $K_2CS_3$ is potassium thiocarbonate.

(B) The central atom in $OF_2$ is oxygen $(O)$.
Oxygen has $6$ valence electrons. It forms $2$ single covalent bonds with two fluorine $(F)$ atoms,using $2$ of its valence electrons.
This results in $2$ bonding pairs of electrons.
The remaining $4$ valence electrons on oxygen form $2$ lone pairs.
Each fluorine atom has $3$ lone pairs,totaling $6$ lone pairs from the two fluorine atoms.
Therefore,the total number of lone pairs in the $OF_2$ molecule is $2$ (on oxygen) $+ 6$ (on two fluorines) $= 8$ lone pairs.
The number of bonding pairs is $2$ and the number of lone pairs is $8$.

(C) The bond angle of $H_2S$ $(92^o)$ is smaller than that of $H_2O$ $(104.5^o)$.
As the electronegativity of the central atom decreases,the bond pairs move further away from the central atom,reducing the repulsion between them and leading to a smaller bond angle.
Since oxygen is more electronegative than sulfur,the bond pairs in $H_2O$ are closer to the central atom,resulting in greater repulsion and a larger bond angle.
Therefore,the Assertion is correct,but the Reason is incorrect because the bond angle actually increases as the electronegativity of the central atom increases.

(C) In $BCl_3$,the large size of chlorine atoms causes steric hindrance,preventing the formation of a dimer structure.
Additionally,$BCl_3$ is stabilized by $p\pi - p\pi$ back bonding between the filled $p$-orbitals of chlorine and the empty $p$-orbital of boron.
In contrast,hydrogen atoms are small and do not cause steric hindrance,allowing $BH_3$ to form the bridged dimer $B_2H_6$ to complete the octet of boron atoms.
Therefore,the primary reason $BCl_3$ does not dimerize is the steric factor and the stability provided by back bonding.

(C) The $S_8$ molecule adopts a puckered ring structure (crown shape).
In this structure,the $S-S-S$ bond angle is approximately $107^o$ (often cited in the range of $102^o-108^o$).
Therefore,the assertion is correct.
However,$S_8$ does not have a $V$-shape; it has a crown-like puckered ring structure.
Thus,the reason is incorrect.

(C) In the peroxodisulphate ion $(S_{2}O_{8}^{2-})$,there are $8$ $S-O$ bonds (including $S=O$ and $S-O$ single bonds).
In rhombic sulphur $(S_{8})$,the sulphur atoms form a puckered ring structure where each sulphur atom is bonded to two other sulphur atoms,resulting in a total of $8$ $S-S$ bonds.
Therefore,the number of $S-O$ bonds in $S_{2}O_{8}^{2-}$ is $8$ and the number of $S-S$ bonds in rhombic sulphur is $8$.

(N/A) chemical bond is defined as an attractive force that holds the constituents (atoms,ions,etc.) together in a chemical species.
Various theories have been suggested for the formation of chemical bonds,such as the electronic theory,valence shell electron pair repulsion theory,valence bond theory,and molecular orbital theory.
$A$ chemical bond formation is attributed to the tendency of a system to attain stability. It was observed that the inertness of noble gases is due to their fully filled outermost orbitals. Hence,it was postulated that elements having incomplete outermost shells are unstable (reactive). Atoms,therefore,combine with each other and complete their respective octets or duplets to attain the stable configuration of the nearest noble gases. This combination can occur either by the sharing of electrons or by transferring one or more electrons from one atom to another. The chemical bond formed as a result of the sharing of electrons between atoms is called a covalent bond. An ionic bond is formed as a result of the transfer of electrons from one atom to another.

$Mg$: There are $2$ valence electrons in $Mg$ atom. Hence,the Lewis dot symbol is: $\cdot \dot{Mg} \cdot$ (or $\ddot{Mg}$)
$Na$: There is $1$ valence electron in $Na$ atom. Hence,the Lewis dot symbol is: $\dot{Na}$
$B$: There are $3$ valence electrons in $B$ atom. Hence,the Lewis dot symbol is: $\cdot \dot{B} \cdot$
$O$: There are $6$ valence electrons in $O$ atom. Hence,the Lewis dot symbol is: $:\ddot{O}:$
$N$: There are $5$ valence electrons in $N$ atom. Hence,the Lewis dot symbol is: $:\ddot{N}\cdot$
$Br$: There are $7$ valence electrons in $Br$ atom. Hence,the Lewis dot symbol is: $:\ddot{\underset{..}{Br}}:$

(N/A) The attractive force which holds various constituents (atoms,ions,etc.) together in different chemical species is called a chemical bond.
Every system tends to be more stable,and bonding is nature's way of lowering the energy of the system to attain stability.
The types of chemical bonding theories are as follows:
$1$. Kossel-Lewis approach
$2$. The Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion $(VSEPR)$ theory
$3$. Valence Bond $(VB)$ theory
$4$. Molecular Orbital $(MO)$ theory

(A) In an ionic bond,electrons are transferred from one atom to another,creating ions with opposite charges. These ions are stabilized by strong electrostatic forces of attraction.
In a covalent bond,atoms achieve stability by sharing valence electrons to attain a stable noble gas electron configuration.
Generally,atoms with a large difference in electronegativity form ionic bonds,whereas atoms with a small difference in electronegativity form covalent bonds.

(B) $ClO^{-}$ is isoelectronic to $ClF$. Both species contain $26$ electrons in total.
Total electrons in $ClO^{-} = 17 + 8 + 1 = 26$.
Total electrons in $ClF = 17 + 9 = 26$.
$ClF$ acts as a Lewis base because it has lone pairs of electrons that can be donated to form compounds like $ClF_{3}$.
