Which one of the following contains P-O-P bond?
Hypophosphorus acid
Phosphorus acid
Pyrophosphoric acid
Orthophosphoric acid
Which of the following orbitals will have zero probability of finding the electron in the yZ plane.
px
py
pz
dyz
What type of orbital hybridisation is considered on P in PCl5?
sp3d
dsp3
sp3d2
d2sp3
A.
sp3d
In PCl5, the number of hybrid orbitals,
H = [V + X + A - C]
where, V = number of valence electrons; X = number of monovalent atoms; A and C = charge of cation or anion]
H= [5 + 5 + 0 - 0]
= 5
Therefore, the hybridisation is sp3d.
BCl3 is a planar molecule, while NCl3 is pyramidal, because
N-Cl bond is more covalent than B-Cl bond
nitrogen atom is smaller than boron atom
B-Cl bond is more polar than NCl bond
BCl3 has no lone pair of electrons but NCl3 has a lone pair of electrons.
The correct sequence of hybridisation of methane, ethene and acetylene is :
sp, sp2, sp3
sp2, sp3, sp
sp3, sp2, sp
sp3, sp, sp2
