The incorrect statement about NH3 and H2O is :
1. The bond angle in NH3 is less than in H2O.
2. Both have distorted tetrahedral geometries.
3. The bond angle in H2O is less than in NH3.
4. Both are sp3 hybridized.
The change in the hybridization of the Al atom in the above reaction is:
1. \(s p^{2} \text { to } s p^{3}\)
2. \(\mathrm{sp}^{3} \text { to } s p^{2}\)
3. \(\mathrm{sp}^{3} \text { to } \mathrm{dsp}{ }^{2}\)
4. \(\operatorname{sp}^{2} \text { to } d s p^{2}\)
Considering the X-axis as the internuclear axis, a sigma bond will not be formed in:
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. |
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'. |
The total number of sigma and pi bonds in C2H4 is:
1. 6 sigma bonds and 1 pi-bond.
2. 3 sigma bonds and 3 pi-bonds.
3. 5 sigma bonds and 1 pi-bond.
4. 2 sigma bonds and 2 pi-bonds.
The axial bonds are longer as compared to equatorial bonds in PCl5 because:
1. | Axial bond pairs suffer more repulsion from the equatorial bond pairs |
2. | Equatorial bond pairs suffer more repulsion from the axial bond pairs |
3. | Both 1, and 2 |
4. | None of the above |
The incorrect statement among the following is:
1. | The sigma bond forms via head-on overlap and the pie bond forms via sidewise overlapping of orbitals. |
2. | s and p orbitals combine to form a sigma bond as well as a pie bond. |
3. | Hybrid orbitals form sigma bonds only. |
4. | Sigma bonds are stronger than pie bonds. |
