The correct answer is: P-2, Q-1, R-3, S-5
CS 2 : S .. .. =C= S .. .. : = orientation of two electron pairs around carbon in linear.
SO 2 : O .. .. = S .. = O .. .. : = orientation of three electron pairs is trigonal planar, but presence of one lone pair makes the structure bent.
BF 3 : F .. .. B | :F: F .. .. : NH 3 H N .. | H H orientation of three electron pairs is trigonal planar, Since all electron pairs are bond pairs. Therefore, structure is trigonal planar. NH3H-N..|H-H- orientation of four electron pairs is tetrahedral, but presence of one lone pairs make structure trigonal pyramidal.
