covalent and coordinate
Nitrogen pentoxide N2O5) has both covalent as well as coordinate bonds. In the gaseous state, it exists as a symmetrical molecule having the structure O2N-O-NO2. The N-O-N bond is almost linear. X-ray studies reveals the ionic nature ofsolid N2O5 i.e., nitronium nitrate, NaNO.
Which of the following statements is false?
1. Non-bonding pairs occupy more space than bonding pairs.
2. The bonding orbitals in trigonal bipyramidal molecule are described as sp3d hybrids.
3. SnCl2 has linear shape.
4. PCl and AlCl are isoelectronic.

The correct order of increasing C-O bond length of CO, CO2 and CO is
CO < CO2 < CO
CO2 < CO < CO
CO < CO < CO2
CO < CO2 < CO
Covalent compounds have low melting point because
covalent molecules are held by weak van der Waal's force of attraction
covalent bond is less exothermic
covalent bond is weaker than ionic bond
covalent molecules have definite shape
