HINTS & SOLUTIONS

1.

(D)
Sol.

Sol.

All C O bond length are equal.

Hence, 2 types of bond lengths.

Each lone pair is forming nearly 90 with axial Fluorine.

Hence = 4.
2.

7. (B)
Sol. In PCl5 both axial bonds are longer and weaker as compare to 3
equitorial bonds.

(C)

Sol.
Sol.

3. (D)
Sol. Hybridisation is calculated by steric number rule.
Steric no. = no. of atoms attached to central atom + no. of lone
pairs present on central atom.
Steric no. for O4 = 4 + 0 = 4 sp3 ; Steric no. for Cl4 = 4 + 2
= 6 sp3d2
Steric no. for F4+ = 4 + 1 = 5 sp3d ;
Steric no. for SO3
=3+0=3
sp2
Steric no. for SO42 = 4 + 0 = 4
sp3 ; Steric no. for SO32
3
=3+1=4
sp
Steric no. for PCl4+ = 4 + 0 = 4 sp3 ; Steric no. for BF4 = 4 + 0
= 4 sp3
Steric no. for XeO3 = 3 + 1 = 4
sp3 ; Steric no. for XeO4
3
=4+0=4
sp
Steric no. for XeF4 = 4 + 2 = 6 sp3d2 ; Steric no. for ClO4
=4+0=4

9.

(D)

Sol.

10. (C)
Sol. The OO bond length in O2F2 is shorter than OO bond length in
H2O2.
11. (B)
Sol. (A) Amongst hexahalides of sulphur, only SF6 is exceptionally
stable for steric reason. In SCl6, smaller S cannot accomodate
six larger Cl ions.
(B) PH5 does not exist as there is large difference in the energies
of s, p and d orbitals of P and hence it does not undergo sp3d
hybridisation.
(C) NCl5 does not exist as there is no d-orbital with N.
(D) BF63 does not exist as there is no vacant d-orbital in B and
hence it cannot exceed its covalency beyond four.
12. (C)

Sol. BF3 (sp2) + F

6.

BF 4 (sp3).

18. (ACD)
Sol. (A) The bond angle decreases with decrease in
electronegativities and increase in size of central atom. Hence
the correct order of OXO bond angle is ClO3 > BrO3.
