The sum of number of lone pairs of electrons present on the central atoms of XeO3,XeOF4XeO _3, XeOF _4 and XeF6XeF _6 is_____

Amongst the following, the number of species having the linear shape is XeF2,I3+,C3O2,I3−,CO2,SO2,BeCl2 and BCl2⊖XeF _2, I _3^{+}, C _3 O _2, I _3^{-}, CO _2, SO _2, BeCl _2 \text { and } BCl _2^{\ominus}

Based upon VSEPR theory, match the shape (geometry) of the molecules in List-I with the molecules in
List-II and select the most appropriate option.
  List-I                            List-II
(Shape)                    (Molecules)
(A) T-shaped             (I) XeF4
(B) Trigonal planar     (II) SF4
(C) Square planar       (III) CIF3
(D) See-saw                (IV) BF3
The correct statements among I to III are : (I) Valence bond theory cannot explain the color exhibited by transition metal complexes. (II) Valence bond theory can predict quantitatively the magnetic properties of transtition metal complexes. (III) Valence bond theory cannot distinguish ligands as weak and strong field ones.
The structure of Nylon-6 is :
