According to molecular orbital theory, the total number of bonding electron pairs in O2 is
2
3
5
4
In which one of the following pairs the two species have identical shape, but differ in hybridisation?
I, BeCl2
NH3, BF3
XeF2, I
NH, SF4
What are the shapes of ethyne and methane?
Square planar and linear
Tetrahedral and trigonal planar
Linear and tetrahedral
Trigonal planar and linear
C.
Linear and tetrahedral
Ethyne (C2H2)
Number of σ-bonds at C-atom = 2
Number of lone pair of electrons at C-atom = O
∴ Total = 2 + 0 =2
∴ Hybridisation is sp
∴ C2H2 is linear.
Methane (CH4)
Number of σ-bonds at C-atom = 4
Number of-lone pair of electrons at C-atom = 0
∴ Total·= 4+ 0 = 4
∴ Hybridisation is sp3
∴ CH4 is tetraherdal.
Which of the following compounds has zero dipole moment?
1, 4-dichlorobenzene
1, 2-dichlorobenzene
1, 3-dichlorobenzene
1-chloro-2-methyl benzene
The number of electrons is the valence shell of the central atom of a molecules is 8. The molecule is
BCl3
BeH2
SCl2
SF6
