Q81
In a regular octahedral molecule, MX 6 the number of X - M - X bonds at 180 o is
A three
B two
C six
D four
Correct Answer
Option A
Solution

The MX 6 molecule with regular octahedral geometry is as follows : Thus, there are three X—M—X bonds with bond angle 180 o .

Q82
Which one of the following statements is not correct for sigma- and pi- bonds formed between two carbon atoms?
A sigma-bond is stronger than a pi-bond.
B Bond energies of sigma- and pi-bonds are of the order of 264 kJ/mol and 347 kJ/mol, respectively
C Free rotation of atoms about a sigma-bond is allowed but not in case of a pi-bond.
D Sigma-bond determines the direction between carbon atoms but a pi-bond has no primary effect in this regard.
Correct Answer
Option B
Solution

As sigma bond is stronger than the π\pi(pi) bond, so it must be having higher bond energy than π\pi(pi) bond.

Q83
In NO 3 - ion number of bond pair and lone pair of electrons on nitrogen atom are
A 2, 2
B 3, 1
C 1, 3
D 4, 0
Correct Answer
Option D
Solution
ONO=O{O^ - }\hbox{---}\mathop N\limits^{\mathop \uparrow \limits^O } = O

In NO 3 - ion, nitrogen has 4 bond pair of electrons and no lone pair of electrons.

Q84
Which of the following has pπ\pi - dπ\pi bonding?
A NO 3 -
B SO 3 2-
C BO 3 3-
D CO 3 2-
Correct Answer
Option B
Solution

Electronic structure of S atom in excited state In 'S' unhybride d- orbital is present, which will involved in bond formation with oxygen atom.

In oxygen two unpaired p- orbital is present in these one is involved in σ\sigma bond formation while other is used in π\pi bond formation.

So, in SO 3 2- , pπ\pi - dπ\pi bonding present.

Q85
Which of the following is isoelectronic?
A CO 2 , NO 2
B NO 2 - , CO 2
C CN - , CO
D SO 2 , CO 2
Correct Answer
Option C
Solution

In CO, the number of electrons \Rightarrow 6 + 8 = 14 [ Z of C = 6 and O = 8] Electronic configuration of molecular orbital of CO :

(σ1s)2(σ1s)2(σ2s)2(σ2s)2(π2px)2(π2py)2(π2pz)2{\left( {\sigma 1s} \right)^2}{\left( {{\sigma ^*}1s} \right)^2}{\left( {\sigma 2s} \right)^2}{\left( {{\sigma ^*}2s} \right)^2}{\left( {\pi 2{p_x}} \right)^2}{\left( {\pi 2{p_y}} \right)^2}{\left( {\pi 2{p_z}} \right)^2}

CN - also get (6 + 7 + 1) 14 electrons and the configuration is similar to that CO. So, CN and CO is isoelectronic.

Q86
In X - H --- Y, X and Y both are electronegative elements. Then
A electron density on X will increase and on H will decrease
B in both electron density will increase
C in both electron density will decrease
D on X electron density will decrease and on H increases.
Correct Answer
Option A
Solution

As X and Y both are electronegative elements thus both attracts the electron density from H thus, electron density on H decreases and on X it increases.

Q87
In which of the following bond angle is maximum ?
A NH 3
B NH 4 +
C PCl 3
D SCl 2
Correct Answer
Option B
Solution

Bond angle is maximum in NH 4 + tetrahedral molecule with bond angle 109°.

Q88
Which of the following two are isostructural?
A XeF 2 , IF 2 -
B NH 3 , BF 3
C CO 3 2- , SO 3 2-
D PCl 5 , ICl 5
Correct Answer
Option A
Solution

Compounds with same shape and same hybridisation are known as isostructural.

XeF 2 , IF 2 - \to both are sp 3 hybridised linear molecules.

Q89
Nitrogen forms N 2 , but phosphorus does not form P 2 , however, it converts P 4 , reason is
A triple bond present between phosphorus atom
B pπ\pi - pπ\pi bonding is weak
C pπ\pi - pπ\pi bonding is strong
D multiple bonds form easily.
Correct Answer
Option B
Solution

For strong π\pi-bonding, pπ\pi - pπ\pi bonding should be strong.

In case of P, due to larger size as compared to N-atom, pπ\pi - pπ\pi bonding is not so strong.

Q90
Right order of dissociation energy N 2 and N 2 + is
A N 2 > N 2 +
B N 2 = N 2 +
C N 2 + > N 2
D none
Correct Answer
Option A
Solution
N2N_2

has 14 electrons. Moleculer orbital configuration of

N2N_2

=

σ1s2σ1s2σ2s2σ2s2π2px2=π2py2σ2pz2{\sigma _{1{s^2}}}\,\sigma _{1{s^2}}^ * \,{\sigma _{2{s^2}}}\,\sigma _{2{s^2}}^ * \,{\pi _{2p_x^2}}\, = \,{\pi _{2p_y^2}}\,{\sigma _{2p_z^2}}
\therefore\,\,\,\,

N b = 10 N a = 4 \therefore BO =

12[104]{1 \over 2}\left[ {10 - 4} \right]

= 3 N 2 + has 13 electrons. Moleculer orbital configuration of N 2 + =

σ1s2σ1s2σ2s2σ2s2π2px2=π2py2σ2pz1{\sigma _{1{s^2}}}\,\sigma _{1{s^2}}^ * \,{\sigma _{2{s^2}}}\,\sigma _{2{s^2}}^ * \,{\pi _{2p_x^2}}\, = \,{\pi _{2p_y^2}}\,{\sigma _{2p_z^1}}
\therefore\,\,\,\,

N b = 9 N a = 4 \therefore BO =

12[94]{1 \over 2}\left[ {9 - 4} \right]

= 2.5 As the bond order in N 2 is more than N 2 + so the dissociation energy of N 2 is higher than N 2 + .
