Shouldnt ethane be a little less than 120 because of the double bond? I write 118...will they mark that correct? Also I wrote triOgonal bipyramidal...will I be penalized for that?

They don't penalize for spelling mistakes as long as it doens't chagne the meaning of the sentence.

Secondly, it should be acceptable. I think the range is from 116-120 or sth.

About the organic question saying ONLY ONE ORGANIC PRODUCT WAS FORMED, the confusion is whether the question meant:
1. Only ONE in quantity
OR
2. ONE TYPE of organic product. May be more than 1 in quantity.o_O

I understood it as 1.

Since it didn't say one MOLE of a product, it's assumed that it was ONE TYPE of a product, as it is in all the previous papers.

Either way, both the products are possible, and have 1 organic product, so they're both correct.

I asked my Chemistry Sir and He said ‘2-methyl pentene’ is correct…

I didn’t ask for ‘2,3-methyl but-2-ene’ but even 2,3-methyl but-2-ene sounds correct as this also gives us 1 organic product!
