The correct Answer is:
To determine which statements are not correct for the compounds \( SCl_2(OCH_3)_2 \) and \( SF_2(OCH_3)_2 \), we need to analyze the molecular geometry and the positions of the substituents around the sulfur atom in both compounds. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Molecular Geometry**: - For \( SCl_2(OCH_3)_2 \): - Sulfur (S) is the central atom with two chlorine (Cl) atoms and two methoxy (OCH3) groups attached. - The molecular geometry around sulfur is tetrahedral due to the four substituents. - However, since there are lone pairs on sulfur, the actual shape is distorted, leading to a seesaw or bent structure. - For \( SF_2(OCH_3)_2 \): - Here, sulfur is also the central atom with two fluorine (F) atoms and two methoxy (OCH3) groups. - The molecular geometry is similar, with tetrahedral arrangement leading to a seesaw shape due to the lone pairs. 2. **Determine the Positions of Substituents**: - In \( SCl_2(OCH_3)_2 \): - The two \( OCH_3 \) groups can occupy equatorial positions to minimize steric hindrance. - The chlorine atoms will occupy axial positions due to their larger size compared to \( OCH_3 \). - In \( SF_2(OCH_3)_2 \): - The two \( OCH_3 \) groups will also occupy equatorial positions. - The fluorine atoms, being more electronegative, will occupy axial positions to reduce electronic repulsion. 3. **Analyze the Statements**: - **Statement 1**: "OCH3 in both cases occupies the same position." - This is incorrect. In \( SCl_2(OCH_3)_2 \), \( OCH_3 \) occupies equatorial positions, while in \( SF_2(OCH_3)_2 \), they also occupy equatorial positions but the overall arrangement differs. - **Statement 2**: "Chlorine atom occupies equatorial positions." - This is incorrect. Chlorine atoms occupy axial positions in \( SCl_2(OCH_3)_2 \). - **Statement 3**: "Chlorine atom occupies axial position." - This is incorrect. Chlorine atoms occupy axial positions in \( SCl_2(OCH_3)_2 \) but the statement is misleading as it implies that they could occupy equatorial positions. - **Statement 4**: "Chlorine and fluorine occupy either axial or equatorial positions." - This is incorrect. Due to steric and electronic repulsions, chlorine and fluorine occupy specific positions to minimize these interactions. ### Conclusion: All the statements provided are incorrect regarding the structures of \( SCl_2(OCH_3)_2 \) and \( SF_2(OCH_3)_2 \).
