Question:medium
Given below are two statements:}
Statement I:}
The number of compounds among \(SO_2, SO_3, SF_4, SF_6\) and \(H_2S\) in which sulphur does not obey the octet rule is \(3\).
Statement II:}
Among \(H_2O, ClF_5, SF_4, [NH_3BF_3], [BrF_5Cl], ClF_3, XeF_4\) and \([XeF_4, ClF_3(H_2O)]\), the number of sets in which the molecules have one lone pair of electrons on the central atom is \(1\).
Choose the correct answer.
