The lone pairs of electrons can be defined as:
1. | Electron pairs that participate in bonding.
|
2. | Electron pairs that do not participate in bonding.
|
3. | Electron pairs that are present in inner most shell.
|
4. | Electron pairs that are present in valence shell of ions. |
Be2 molecule does not exist. The best explanation to explain this on the basis of the molecular orbital theory is:
1. The bond order of Be2 is one.
2. The bond order of Be2 is negative.
3. The bond order of Be2 is zero.
4. The bond order of Be2 is two.
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 relation between hydrogen bond and the van der Waals forces is:
1. | Both the bonds have equal strength. |
2. | Hydrogen bonds are weaker than van der Waals forces. |
3. | Hydrogen bonds are stronger than van der Waals forces. |
4. | None of the above |
The significance of the octet rule is:
1. To determine the stability of atoms.
2. To find the hybridization of elements.
3. To calculate the number of lone pairs.
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. |
The correct Lewis structure of acetic acid is:
1. | ![]() |
2. | ![]() |
3. | ![]() |
4. | None of the above. |
H2 molecule on the basis of valence bond theory is formed due to:
1. Attractive forces being more than the repulsive forces.
2. Attractive forces being less than the repulsive forces.
3. No force of attraction.
4. Only repulsive force.
