N₂ loses a σ-bonding electron; O₂ loses a π-antibonding electron. In the specified trigonal bipyramid, one equatorial F has two equatorial Cl neighbours, giving two 120° F–P–Cl angles. SO₂Br₂ has four bond domains and no sulfur lone pair; SOBr₂ has three bond domains plus one lone pair. Both have four domains, but tetrahedral versus pyramidal arrangements and different repulsions do not require equal real bond angles. Thus A-C are true and D is false.
