B. Given Data: We are given four pairs of molecules/ions and need to determine their
structures.

C. Concept: VSEPR (Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion) theory

D. Solution:

A. CO₂, I₃⁻: CO₂ has a linear structure (O=C=O). I₃⁻ also has a linear structure (I-I-I) due to
the central iodine having 3 lone pairs and 2 bond pairs. This pair is isostructural.

B. PCl₄⁺, PCl₅: PCl₄⁺ has a tetrahedral shape. PCl₅ has a trigonal bipyramidal shape. Not
isostructural.

C. XeO₄, XeO₃: XeO₄ has a tetrahedral shape. XeO₃ has a pyramidal shape. Not
isostructural.

D. NO₂⁺, NO₂⁻: NO₂⁺ is linear. NO₂⁻ is bent or angular. Not isostructural.

% in original clay ⇒ 40 19 100 – (40 + 19) = 41

% after partial drying ⇒ a 10 100 – (a + 10) = 90 – a

On heating, only water evaporates from clay, whereas CaCO3.MgCO3 and impurities are left as
it is. Therefore, % ratio of CaCO3.MgCO3 and impurities remains unchanged, i.e.

s at all three axis zero

px at x - axis yz

dxy in xy plane yz, xz

at x and y axis two angular nodal plane

For dx2–y2 & dxy orbitals value of ℓ = 2

28) Ionisation energy → Li > Na

Radii → Ne > Na+
Electronegativity → [He]2s22p4 > [He]2s22p3
Electron gain enthalpy (Magnitude only) → S > O

29) There are 18 groups

So, 9 orbitals are filled with two e– (+1/2, –1/2)
If spin has values (–1/2, 0, +1/2)
Total groups = 9 × 3 = 27

In diborane (B2H6) due to banana bonding all 3-p-

orbitals of every boron atom take part in hybridisation.

38) Let

Then
Therefore,

Therefore

41) x4 – (2k + 1)x2 + 6x + k2 – 3k = 0

⇒ (x2 + 2x – k)(x2 – 2x + 3 – k) = 0
⇒ 4 + 4k ≥ 0 & 4 – 4(3 – k) ≥ 0
⇒ k ≥ –1 & k ≥ 2
⇒ k ∈ [2, ∞)

42) x2 – 2x + 2 = 0
*α+β=2
* αβ = 2
* α2 – 2α + 2 = 0 ⇒ α2 + 2 = 2α
* β2 – 2β + 2 = 0

(P)
(Q) α2 + 2 + 2β = 2α + 2β = 2(α + β) = 2.2 = 4
(R) ∵ β2 – 2β + 2 = 0 ⇒ β2 + 2 = 2β {÷ by β}

⇒β+ =2
(S) α – 2α + 5 = (α2 – 2α + 2) + 3 = 0 + 3 = 3

43) Let first term & common ratio of G.P. are A & R
Given that AR + AR3 + AR5 + ... ∞ = 6
& A + AR2 + AR4 + ... ∞ = 9
⇒ R(A + AR2 + AR4 + ... ∞) = 6

⇒ & ⇒A=5

(P) A + R = +5=

(Q) a5 = A.R4 =

(S)

44) (P) α + (α + 4) = 8 ⇒ α = 2
α (α + 4) = k ⇒ 2(2 + 4) = k
⇒ k = 12
(Q) α + β = –2 αβ = –4
(R) α + β = 0
α3 + β3 = (α + β) (α2 – αβ + β2) = 0
(S) (k – 2)x2 + 8x + (k + 4) > 0
So k – 2 > 0 and D < 0
k>2 ...(1)
64 –4(k – 2) (k + 4) < 0
(k – 2)(k + 4) > 16
k2 + 2k – 24 > 0
(k + 6) (k – 4) > 0
k ∈ (–∞, –6) ∪ (4,∞)
(1) and (2) k ∈(4,∞)
Hence least integral values of k is 5.
