The correct Answer is:
To solve the question "Which is not incorrect?" we need to analyze each statement provided in the context of chemistry and determine which one is correct. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks us to identify which statement is "not incorrect," meaning we are looking for a correct statement among the options provided. 2. **Analyzing Statement 1**: - The statement discusses the stability of two structures of sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄). It mentions that sulfur can have a +6 oxidation state due to the availability of empty 3d orbitals for backbonding with oxygen. - The conclusion drawn is that both representations of sulfuric acid have the same stability, which is stated to be incorrect. Therefore, this statement is not the correct answer. **Hint**: Check the stability of different resonance structures and their contributions to the overall stability. 3. **Analyzing Statement 2**: - This statement involves the hybridization of the cation XeF₅⁺. It states that XeF₆ ionizes to form XeF₅⁺ and F⁻. - The hybridization is calculated based on the number of valence electrons. The conclusion is that XeF₅⁺ has sp³d² hybridization, which is stated to be incorrect. Thus, this statement is also not the correct answer. **Hint**: Remember to consider the total number of valence electrons and how they contribute to hybridization. 4. **Analyzing Statement 3**: - This statement calculates the bond order of O₂ using the molecular orbital theory. The bond order is calculated as the difference between the number of bonding and antibonding electrons divided by two. - The calculation shows that the bond order of O₂ is 2, which is indeed correct. Therefore, this statement is the correct answer. **Hint**: Use the formula for bond order correctly and ensure to account for all bonding and antibonding electrons. 5. **Analyzing Statement 4**: - This statement compares the bond angles of CF₄ and CH₄. Both molecules are tetrahedral and exhibit sp³ hybridization. - The conclusion drawn is that the bond angles are the same (109.5°) due to symmetrical repulsion. However, it incorrectly states that one bond angle is greater than the other, which is not true. Therefore, this statement is also not the correct answer. **Hint**: Consider the effects of lone pairs and bond angles in tetrahedral geometries. ### Conclusion: After analyzing all statements, the only statement that is correct is Statement 3, which pertains to the bond order of O₂. ### Final Answer: The correct answer is **Option 3**.
