  • Question 1/8
    1 / -0

    Which molecule is not linear?

    Solutions

    H2O is not linear because oxygen is sp3 hybridised in H2O. For linear shape, sp hybridisation is required.

     

  • Question 2/8
    1 / -0

    Hydrogen molecule differs from chlorine molecule in the following respect.

    Solutions

    As hydrogen molecule does not have any lone pair of electron, hence it can not form a coordinate bond but Cl2 can.

     

  • Question 3/8
    1 / -0

    In which of the following molecules/ions BF3, and H2O, the central atom is sp2hybridised ?

    Solutions

    Central atom is sp2 hybridized in BF3 and 

    Hybridisation = number of sigma bonds + no of lone pairs. 

    From the structure of molecules, hybridization can be known.

     

  • Question 4/8
    1 / -0

    Which one of the following pairs is iso structural (i.e., having the same shape and hybridization)?

    Solutions

    Two compounds are said to be isostructural, if number of bond pairs and lone pairs are same for the given pairs. 

     

  • Question 5/8
    1 / -0

    Which of the two ions from the list given below have the geometry that is explained by the same hybridisation of orbitals, 

    Solutions

    NO-2 = 2σ + 1 lp = 3, ie, sp2 hybridization 
    NO3- = 3σ, i.e. sp2 hybridization 
    NH2- = 2σ + 2lp = 4, ie, sp3 hybridization 
    NH+4 = 4σ =4, ie, sp3 hybridization

    SCN- : C has 2 sigma bonds and 2 pi bonds and hence has sp hybridisation.
    Therefore, out of the given options, only NO-and NO3-have the same hybridization.

     

  • Question 6/8
    1 / -0

    In which of the following pairs of molecules/ions, the central atoms have sp2hybridization ?

    Solutions

    For sp2 hybridization, there must be 3σ-bonds or 2σ-bonds along with a lone pair of electrons. 

    (i) NO-2 = 2σ + 1 lp = 3, ie, sp2 hybridization 

    (ii) NH3 = 3σ + 1 lp = 4, ie, sp3 hybridization 

    (iii) BF3 = 3σ + 0 lp = 3, ie, sp2 hybridization 

    (iv) NH-2 = 2σ + 2 lp = 4, ie, sp3 hybridization 

    (v) H2O = 2σ + 2 lp = 4, ie, sp3 

    3σ-bonds or 2σ-bonds and a lone pair must be present in the sp2 hybridization. Therefore, BF3 and NO-2 have sp2 hybridization.

     

  • Question 7/8
    1 / -0

    The order of electronegativity of carbon in sp, sp2 and sp3 hybridized states follow

    Solutions

    more the % s character more the electronegativity. So the order of electronegativity of carbon in sp, sp2 and sp3 hybridized states is sp>sp2>sp3

     

  • Question 8/8
    1 / -0

    The correct order of C-O bond length among CO, , CO2 is :

    Solutions

    Note that a multiple bond (double or triple bond) is shorter than the corresponding single bond. 

    The C-atom in is sp2 hybridized as shown below

    The C-atom in CO2 is sp hybridized with bond length of carbon-oxygen bond as 122 pm. 
    =C =O ↔ +O≡C -O- ↔ -O—C ≡ 

    So the correct order of bond length is CO < CO2<
