Below.

Explanation:

$N F_{3} = 3 σ$ $NF_3 = 3sigma$

$C S_{2} = 2 σ + 2 π$ $CS_2 = 2sigma + 2pi$

$C l F_{5} = 5 σ$ $ClF_5 = 5sigma$

$H C C l_{3} = 4 σ$ $H"C"Cl_3 = 4sigma$

$X e F_{2} = 2 σ$ $XeF_2 = 2sigma$

Imagine the structures in your head, using knowledge of how many bonds each atom can have. A single bond is a $σ$ $sigma$ , a double bond is $σ + π$ $sigma + pi$ , a triple bond is $σ + 2 π$ $sigma + 2pi$ . Work with this information through each molecule and you should get the answers.
