What type of hybridisation takes place in the N atom of NH3 ?
sp2
sp3
dsp2
sp
B.
sp3
In NH3 , the N atom contains one lone pair of electrons and three bond pairs in its valence shell .So It shows sp3 hybridization .
Due to presence of one lone pair of electron , its shape deviate from tetrahedral because lone pair shows more repulsion than bond pairs .
As.
l.p - l.p. > l.p. - b.p. > b.p. - b.p.
So its shape is pyramidal and angle 107° .
Assertion : Molecular nitrogen is less reactive than molecular oxygen.
Reason : The bond length of N2 is shorter than that of oxygen.
If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
If assertion is true, but reason is false.
Both assertion and reason are false statements.
Assertion : Potassium ferrocyanide is diamagnetic whereas potassium ferricyanide is paramagnetic.
Reason : Crystal field splitting in ferrocyanide ion is greater than that of ferricyanide ion.
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 : 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.
