Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
An element is a substance that contains same type of atoms.
For example sulfur is an element. And when we say 8S then it means there are 8 atoms of sulfur element are present.
On the other hand, when there are more than one atom is chemically combined to same or different element then it is known as a molecule.
For example, is a molecule.
Thus, we can conclude that the difference between 8S and S8 is that 8S represents eight sulfur atoms and S8 represents one sulfur molecule.

Answer:
Option "B" is correct.
Explanation:
According to VSEPR theory, There are repulsion forces exists among the bond pair - bond pair or bond pair - lone pair of electrons. In and
, the number of electron pairs are same but methane has all the four bond pairs where in ammonia, three bond pairs and one lone pair exists. And thus there are repulsion forces possible in between the lone pair and bond pair of electrons thus the arrangement of electron pairs around both the molecules is same or different depending up on the conditions leading to maximum repulsion.
