\(\text{H}_3\text{PO}_3\) can be represented by structures 1 and 2 shown below.
However, these two structures cannot be considered as canonical forms of a resonance hybrid because:
1. | The positions of the atoms are different in each structure.
|
2. | The positions of the atoms remain unchanged.
|
3. | \(\text{H}_3\text{PO}_3\) does not show resonance.
|
4. | Two hydrogen atoms are missing. |
The shape of molecule is bent while that of is linear. The correct explanation for this fact is that dipole moment of:
1. | carbon dioxide is 3.84 D and that of water is zero. |
2. | water is zero and that of carbon dioxide is 1.84 D. |
3. | carbon dioxide is zero and that of water is 1.84 D. |
4. | carbon dioxide is 3.84 D and that of water is 1.84 D. |
The application of dipole moment is/are :
1. | It is used to differentiate polar and non-polar bonds. |
2. | It is helpful in calculating the percentage ionic character of a molecule. |
3. | Both '1' and '2' |
4. | None of the above. |
The difference between electronegativity and electron gain enthalpy is:
1. | An element has a constant value of the electron gain enthalpy but not of electronegativity. |
2. | There is no difference between these two terms. |
3. | An element has a constant value of electronegativity but not of electron gain enthalpy. |
4. | None of the above. |
The correct order of increasing ionic character in the molecules: LiF, K2O, and ClF3 is:
1.
2.
3.
4.
CH4 does not exhibit square planar geometry because:
1. | For square planar geometry, 5 bonds are required. |
2. | Carbon does not have d-orbitals to undergo dsp2 hybridization. |
3. | Due to steric hindrance CH4 does not exhibit square planar geometry. |
4. | Carbon does not have d-orbitals to undergo d2sp3 hybridization. |
BeH2 molecule has a zero dipole moment because -
1. |
Dipole moments of each H–Be bond are unequal and are in opposite directions. |
2. | Dipole moments of each H–Be bond are equal and are in opposite directions. |
3. | Dipole moments of each H–Be bond are equal and are in same directions. |
4. | Dipole moments of each H–Be bond are unequal and are in same directions. |
Among and , _____ has higher dipole moment because -
1. NF3 ; the resultant bond moment of the N–H bonds add up with the lone pair while N – F bonds partly cancels the moment of the lone pair.
2. NH3 ; the resultant bond moment of the N–F bonds add up with lone pair while N - H bonds partly cancels the moment of the lone pair.
3. NF3 ; the resultant bond moment of the N–F bonds add up with the lone pair while N – H bonds partly cancels the moment of the lone pair.
4. NH3 ; the resultant bond moment of the N–H bonds add up with lone pair while N – F bonds partly cancels the moment of the lone pair.
The shapes of sp, , orbitals formed due to hybridization of atomic orbitals would be respectively:
1. Trigonal planar, linear, tetrahedral
2. Linear, trigonal planar, tetrahedral
3. Linear, tetrahedral, trigonal planar
4. Tetrahedral, trigonal planar, linear
The correct statement about the above reaction is :
1. | Hybridization of ‘B’ changes to sp2 from sp3 while there is no change in the hybridization of 'N'. |
2. | Hybridization of ‘N’ changes to sp3 from sp2 while there is no change in the hybridization of 'B'. |
3. | Hybridization of ‘N’ changes to sp2 from sp3 while there is no change in the hybridization of 'B'. |
4. | Hybridization of ‘B’ changes to sp3 from sp2 while there is no change in the hybridization of 'N'. |
