Which of the following is CORRECT for $SOF_{2}$ and $SO_{2} F_{2}$ :

Answer:

A, C

Solution:

In thionyl fluoride and sulfuryl fluoride, sulfur is central atom.

SOF₂ has 3 bond pairs + 1 lone pair → sp³ hybridisation, smaller bond angle

SO₂F₂ has 4 bond pairs → sp³ hybridisation, more steric crowding → larger F–S–F angle

Hence (A) and (C) are correct.
