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?

Which of  the following structure is similar to graphite?

• CO

• O₂^-

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
