H2O is dipolar, whereas BeF2 is not. It is because:
1. | H2O involves hydrogen bonding whereas BeF2 is a discrete molecule. |
2. | H2O is linear and BeF2 is angular. |
3. | H2O is angular and BeF2 is linear. |
4. | The electronegativity of F is greater than that of O |
In a regular octahedral molecule, MX6, the number of X–M–X bonds at 180º is:
1. | Two | 2. | Six |
3. | Four | 4. | Three |
The dipole moment of compound AB is 10.92 D and that of compound CD is 12.45 D. If the bond length of AB is 2.72 A° and that of CD is 2.56 A°, then for these compounds the correct statement is:
1. More ionic nature in AB
2. More ionic nature in CD
3. Equal in both
4. Cannot be predicted

2. | Bond energies of sigma- and pi-bonds are of the order of 264 KJ/mol and 347 KJ/mol, respectively |
3. | Free rotation of atoms about a sigma bond is allowed but not in the case of a pi-bond |
4. | Sigma-bond determines the direction between carbon atoms but a pi-bond has no primary effect in this regard |
