Paragraph for question no. 12 to 13
Valence shell electron pair repulsion theory (VSEPR) can be used to predict the approximate
shape of a molecule. Electrons in bonds and in lone pairs can be thought of as ―charge cloud‖
that repel one another and stay as far apart possible, thus causing molecules to assume specific
shapes.
The repulsive interactions of electron pairs decrease in the order :
Lone pair-lone pair > Lone pair - bond pair > Bond pair-bond pair.
These repulsions result in deviations from idealized shapes and alteration in bond angles in
molecules.

(A) the same with 2, 1 and 0 lone pairs of electrons, respectively

Paragraph for Question 20 to 21
Polar covalent molecules exhibit dipole moment. Dipole moment is equal to the product of charge
separation q and the bond length d for the bond. Unit of dipole moment is debye. One debye is equal to
10–18 esu cm.
Dipole moments is a vector quantity. It has both magnitude and direction. Hence, dipole moment of a
molecule depends upon the relative orientation of the bond dipoles, but not on the polarity of bonds
alone. A symmetrical structure shows zero dipole moment. Thus, dipole moment helps to predict the
geometry of a molecule. Dipole moment values can be used to distinguish between cis-and trans-
isomers, orhto-, meta-and para-forms of a substance, etc.
20. Arrange the following in increasing order of their polarity.
(I) Ortho chloro Toluene (II) Meta chloro Toluene (III) Para chloro Toluene

2. Inter molecular H-Bonding in case of para nitro phenol is strong enough to increase boiling
point which is not favoured in o-nitro phenol.
3. Maleic acid anion gets stabilize due to intra molecular H-bonding which is not possible in
anion of Fumaric acid. So H+ releasing tendency is more in case of maleic acid.

6. Density of ice is higher than that of water due to cage like structure of ice volume of ice
increases and density decreases.

7. On heating ice in temperature range 0–4ºC H-bonds of ice break down, which decreases
volume, hence density of H2O increases. On heating ice after 4ºC thermal vibrations of H2O
molecules increases which increases effective volume of ice, so density of ice again decreases.
8. H-I bond is weak as compare to H-F so it can be dissociated easily and can give H+ easily.
9. The organic matter in wood participate in H-bonding with water molecules in ice-cream.

13. Extent of H-bonding in glycerol is more as compare to ethanol so it is more viscous.

Common questions

Powered by AI

CCl4 is non-polar because its tetrahedral geometry allows the polar C-Cl bonds to be symmetrically arranged, canceling out the dipole moments .

CO32-, NO3-, and SO3 have similar trigonal planar structures, making them isostructural .

Diamond is an insulator because its carbon atoms are sp3 hybridized, leading to a strong 3D covalent structure that doesn’t allow free electron movement. In graphite, carbon atoms are sp2 hybridized, creating layers with delocalized electrons enable electron flow, making it a good conductor .

PF5 does not exhibit sp3d2 hybridization; it shows sp3d, forming a trigonal bipyramidal structure. SF6, BrF5, and [CrF6]3- show sp3d2 hybridization .

VSEPR theory suggests that the shape of a molecule is defined primarily by the repulsion between electron pairs, while hybridization can help determine the basic geometry of the molecule . However, the actual shape might deviate due to lone pair repulsion, with VSEPR describing these deviations .

The structure of IF6- is a distorted octahedron due to electron pair repulsions causing deviations from perfect octahedral angles .

The bond angle in water is less than in methane due to lone pair-bond pair repulsions in water, which causes a decrease from 109.5° in methane (tetrahedral) to 104.5° in water .

BF3 is planar due to its trigonal planar shape according to VSEPR theory .

The presence of lone pairs in XeF4 causes it to adopt a square planar structure. The lone pairs occupy positions in the axial plane, reducing repulsion in the equatorial plane and resulting in a planar geometry .

IF5 has bond angles equal to 90 degrees. SeF6 and ICl4- also have angles of 90 degrees, but BrF3 does not .
