Choose the correct molecules from the given clues: H_2O , SF_6 , BF_3 , a) Clue-1 The central atom is in sp^2 hybridised state and the molecule has trigonal planar in shape. Clue-2 The bond angle is 120°

If an element is in its highest possibel oxidation state in a compound, it can act as an oxidising agent. If an element is in its lowest possible oxidation state in a compound, if can act as reducing agent. If an element is in the intermediate oxidation state in a compound, it can serve as both oxidising and reducing agent. Based on the above three guidelines, classify the following compounds into three categories and post them in the table given below. KMnO_4 , H_2O_2 , H_2C_2O_4 , FeSO_4 , HCIO_4 , SO_2 , Na_2S_2O_3 , K_2Cr_2O_7
