Question:medium
Statement I: Of the following compounds \( SO_2, SO_3, H_2S, SF_4 \); only three compounds have a complete octet.
Statement II: For the given set of compounds \([SF_4, BrF_5, ClF_3], [NH_3, BrF_5, SF_4], [H_2O, IF_5, XeF_4]\) only one set of compounds has one lone pair on all central atoms.

Show Hint
In molecules like \( SF_4 \), \( BrF_5 \), and \( ClF_3 \), pay attention to the number of lone pairs on the central atom when determining the octet rule and lone pair distribution.

Assertion (A): The boiling points of alkyl halides decrease in the order: RI>RBr>RCl>RF.
Reason (R): The boiling points of alkyl chlorides, bromides and iodides are considerably higher than that of the hydrocarbon of comparable molecular mass.- CBSE Class XII - 2025

- According to the generally accepted definition of the ideal solution there are equal interaction forces acting between molecules belonging to the same or different species. (This is equivalent to the statement that the activity of the components equals the concentration.) Strictly speaking, this concept is valid in ecological systems (isotopic mixtures of an element, hydrocarbons mixtures, etc.). It is still usual to talk about ideal solutions as limiting cases in reality since very dilute solutions behave ideally with respect to the solvent. This law is further supported by the fact that Raoult’s law empirically found for describing the behaviour of the solvent in dilute solutions can be deduced thermodynamically via the assumption of ideal behaviour of the solvent.
