The correct order of decreasing length of the bond as indicated by the arrow in the following structures is
I > II > III
II > I > III
III > II > I
I > III > II
In case of heteronuclear diatomics of the type AB, where A is more electronegative than B, bonding molecular orbital resembles the character of A more than that of B. The statement
is false
is true
cannot be evaluated since data is not sufficient
is true only for certain systems
Dipole-induced dipole interactions are present in which of the following pairs?
H2O and alcohol
Cl2 and CCl4
HCl and He atoms
SiF4 and He atoms
C.
HCl and He atoms
Dipole-induced dipole interaction are present in the pair in which the first species is polar and the other is non-polar.H2O and alcohol both are polar molecules, so there exists dipole-dipole interactions in between them. Cl2 and CCl4 both are non-polar so there exists induced dipole-induced dipole interactions in between them. Similar is true for SiCl4 and He atoms pair. HCl is a polar molecule, whereas He atoms are non-polar, so in between them dipole-induced dipole interactions exist.
The bond angle in NF3 (102.3°) is, smaller than NH3 (107.2°). This is because of
large size of F compared to H
large size of N compared to F
opposite polarity of N in the two molecules
small size of H compared to N
The structure of XeF6 is experimentally determined to be distorted octahedron. Its structure according to VSEPR theory is
octahedron
trigonal bipyramid
pentagonal bipyramid
tetragonal bipyramid
In the following electron-dot structure calculate the formal charge from left to right nitrogen atom; :
-1 , -1 , +1
-1 , +1 , -1
+1 , -1 , -1
+1 , -1 , +1
The sp3d2 hybridisation of central atom of a molecule would lead to:
square planar geometry
tetrahedral geometry
trigonal bipyramidal geometry
octahedral geometry
