Assertion : SeCl4 does not have a tetrahedral structure.
Reason : Se in SeCl4 has two lone pairs.
If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
If assertion is true but reason is false.
If both assertion and reason are false.
Assertion : B2 molecule is diamagnetic.
Reason : The highest occupied molecular orbital is of σ type.
If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
If assertion is true but reason is false.
If both assertion and reason are false.
The statement true for is
it has a non-linear structure
it is called pseudohalogen
the formal oxidation state of nitrogen in this anion is -1
it is isoelectronic with NO2
The ONO angle is maximum in
D.
The nitrate ion has three resonance structure, with the double bond on a different oxygen for each. In all resonance structures the nitrogen has three bonds, therefore, its hybridisation is sp2. Each of the oxygen atoms also has sp2 hybridisation, since the hybridisation is determined by the resonance structure with the double bond, where the oxygen has a double bond and two lone pairs.
The actual geometry of the polyatomic ion is trigonal planar with bond angles of 120°,
:18 electrons; ideal geometry trigonal planar, sp2 with bond angle of 116°.
NO2 : 17 electrons, ideal geometry trigonal planar; sp2 with bond angle of 134°.
: 16 electrons; ideal geometry linear ; sp with bond angle of 180°,
