Answer 1

code is correct. added code for time out exception. implicitlyWait added
public class SeleniumClass {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:\\\\Drivers\\\\chromedriver.exe");
        //System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "F:/Selenium/Jars and Drivers/Drivers/Firefox/geckodriver-v0.29.0-win64/geckodriver.exe");
        WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
        //WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
        driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(Duration.ofSeconds(5));
        driver.get("http://www.google.com");
    }

}
