Chemistry · CHEMICAL BONDING AND MOLECULAR STRUCTURE

हिन्दी

In the T-shaped molecule \( \text{ClF}_3 \), the most stable arrangement has the two lone pairs occupying:

  1. Both axial positions
  2. Both equatorial positions
  3. One axial and one equatorial position
  4. Alternating axial positions

Correct answer · Option 2

Both equatorial positions

Explanation

In \( \text{ClF}_3 \), placing both lone pairs at equatorial positions minimizes the strong \( 90^\circ \) lone pair-bond pair and lone pair-lone pair repulsions.

Consider the following statements regarding hybridization and orbital characteristics: (A) Hybrid orbitals are always equivalent in energy and shape. (B) Promotion of an electron is an essential condition prior to hybridization. (C) A \( \pi \) bond is stronger than a \( \sigma \) bond because of greater extent of orbital overlap. (D) Only half-filled orbitals of valence shell take part in hybridization; fully filled orbitals can never participate. Which of the above statements is/are correct?→Consider the following isoelectronic pairs/species: \( \text{N}_2 \), \( \text{CO} \), \( \text{NO}^+ \), \( \text{F}_2 \), and \( \text{O}_2^{2-} \). Let \( S_1 \) be the sum of bond orders of \( \text{N}_2 \), \( \text{CO} \), and \( \text{NO}^+ \), and \( S_2 \) be the sum of bond orders of \( \text{F}_2 \) and \( \text{O}_2^{2-} \). What is the value of \( S_1 - 2S_2 \)?→In terms of orbital overlap and bond directionality, which statement explains why simple atomic orbital overlap fails to describe the geometry of \( \text{CH}_4 \)?→Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R). Assertion (A): Two isolated hydrogen atoms do not form a bond when their total potential energy increases as they approach each other. Reason (R): A covalent bond between two atoms is formed only when the net attractive forces overcome the repulsive forces and the system acquires minimum potential energy.
