Detailed Solution

The moist SO₂ has reducing character due to evolution of nascent hydrogen.
${SO}_{2} + 2 H_{2} O \to H_{2} {SO}_{4} + 2 [H] {Cl}_{2}$ acts as bleaching agent,
${Cl}_{2} + H_{2} O \to HCl + HClO$
Hypochlorous acid is unstable,
It easily dissociates to form nascent oxygen.
$HClO \to HCl + [O]$ due to nascent oxygen it act as bleaching agent.
XeF₂ → Linear, but XeF₆ → distorted octahedral N₂ → Very less reactive gas, and F₂ highly reactive gas. NH₃ → Strong base, HI → Strong acid.
