C.
dual nature of electron
The quantum or wave mechanical model of atom is based upon the dual nature of electron i.e., the electron is not only a particle but has a wave character. The wave character of electron has partical significance since its wavelength is easily observed in electromagnetic spectrum.
Identify the correct set.
Molecule | Hybridisation of central atom | Shape |
PCl5 | dsp3 | square pyramidal |
[Ni(CN)4]2- | sp3 | tetrahedral |
SF6 | sp3d2 | octahedral |
IF3 | dsp3 | pyramidal |
Which one of the following statements is correct?
Hybrid orbitals do not form σ bonds.
Lateral overlap of p-orbitals or p- and d-orbitals produces -bonds.
The strength of bonds follows the order-
σp-p < σs-s < p-p
s-orbitals do not form σ bonds.
