Explanation / Answer

38. C, since sulfur has 2 lone pair of electrons

39. C, since SF2 has two S-F sigma bond pairs

40. B, since 2 lone pairs (for S )+ 2 x 3 lone pairs ( for F ) and total 8 lone pairs

41. A, since there is no pi electrons for delocalisation

42. C, 2(sigma bond pairs)+2(pi bond pairs).

43. C, 2(on Sulfur )+ 2 x 2(on Oxygen)= 6 lone pairs

44. D, O=S=O, O=S-O- , -O-S=O
