The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the following analogies is correct, we need to analyze each statement provided in the question. ### Step 1: Analyze the first analogy The first analogy mentions: - Neon (Ne) is used in sodium vapor lamps. - Argon (Ar) is used in electric lamps. - Both Neon and Argon are inert gases. **Evaluation**: - Neon is indeed used in sodium vapor lamps, but it is more commonly associated with neon signs and lighting. Sodium vapor lamps primarily use sodium vapor. - Argon is commonly used in electric lamps, particularly incandescent bulbs, as it prevents the filament from oxidizing. - Both Neon and Argon are noble gases (inert gases). ### Conclusion for Step 1: The first analogy has some truth but is misleading regarding the use of Neon in sodium vapor lamps. ### Step 2: Analyze the second analogy The second analogy states: - \( \text{XeF}_4 \) is Sodium Planar. - \( \text{O}_3 \) is an oxidizing agent. - \( \text{N}_2 \) is a weak oxidizing agent. - \( \text{O}_2 \) is a p-pi bond. **Evaluation**: - \( \text{XeF}_4 \) (Xenon Tetrafluoride) is not related to Sodium Planar; it is a molecular compound with a square planar geometry. - \( \text{O}_3 \) (Ozone) is indeed a strong oxidizing agent. - \( \text{N}_2 \) (Nitrogen) is relatively inert and can be considered a weak oxidizing agent compared to other gases. - \( \text{O}_2 \) (Oxygen) does not have a p-pi bond; it has a double bond between the two oxygen atoms. ### Conclusion for Step 2: The second analogy has some correct elements but is incorrect in its entirety. ### Final Conclusion: Based on the analysis, neither analogy is completely correct. However, if we must choose the one that has more accurate statements, the first analogy is slightly more valid due to the correct identification of Argon as an inert gas used in electric lamps.

To determine which of the following analogies is correct, we need to analyze each statement provided in the question. ### Step 1: Analyze the first analogy The first analogy mentions: - Neon (Ne) is used in sodium vapor lamps. - Argon (Ar) is used in electric lamps. - Both Neon and Argon are inert gases. ...
