The correct Answer is:
To determine which statements are not correct for the compounds \( \text{SCl}_2(\text{OCH}_3)_2 \) and \( \text{SF}_2(\text{OCH}_3)_2 \), we will analyze the molecular structures and the positions of the substituents. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Central Atom and Calculate Steric Number**: - For both compounds, the central atom is sulfur (S). - To find the steric number, count the number of bonded atoms and lone pairs around the central atom. - For \( \text{SCl}_2(\text{OCH}_3)_2 \): - 2 Cl atoms + 2 OCH3 groups + 1 lone pair = 5 (Steric Number) - For \( \text{SF}_2(\text{OCH}_3)_2 \): - 2 F atoms + 2 OCH3 groups + 1 lone pair = 5 (Steric Number) 2. **Determine Hybridization**: - With a steric number of 5, the hybridization is \( sp^3d \). 3. **Predict Molecular Geometry**: - The molecular geometry for \( sp^3d \) hybridization is seesaw. 4. **Draw the Structures**: - **For \( \text{SCl}_2(\text{OCH}_3)_2 \)**: - The more electronegative \( \text{OCH}_3 \) groups will occupy the axial positions, while the Cl atoms will occupy the equatorial positions. - **For \( \text{SF}_2(\text{OCH}_3)_2 \)**: - The more electronegative F atoms will occupy the axial positions, while the OCH3 groups will occupy the equatorial positions. 5. **Analyze the Statements**: - **Statement A**: "OCH3 groups in both cases occupy the same position." - **Analysis**: Incorrect. In \( \text{SCl}_2(\text{OCH}_3)_2 \), OCH3 occupies axial, while in \( \text{SF}_2(\text{OCH}_3)_2 \), it occupies equatorial. - **Statement B**: "Cl atoms occupy equatorial position in case of first and F atoms occupy equatorial position in the case of second." - **Analysis**: Incorrect. Cl occupies equatorial in the first, but F occupies axial in the second. - **Statement C**: "Cl atoms occupy axial position in case of 1." - **Analysis**: Incorrect. Cl occupies equatorial position in \( \text{SCl}_2(\text{OCH}_3)_2 \). - **Statement D**: "Cl and F atoms occupy either axial or equatorial position in case of one and two respectively." - **Analysis**: Correct. Cl occupies equatorial in the first, and F occupies axial in the second. ### Conclusion: The statements that are not correct are A, B, and C.

To determine which statements are not correct for the compounds \( \text{SCl}_2(\text{OCH}_3)_2 \) and \( \text{SF}_2(\text{OCH}_3)_2 \), we will analyze the molecular structures and the positions of the substituents. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Central Atom and Calculate Steric Number**: - For both compounds, the central atom is sulfur (S). - To find the steric number, count the number of bonded atoms and lone pairs around the central atom. - For \( \text{SCl}_2(\text{OCH}_3)_2 \): ...
