HINTS & SOLUTIONS
1. (D)
Sol.

Sol.

Each lone pair is forming nearly 90° with axial Fluorine. All C – O bond length are equal.
Hence = 4. Hence, 2 types of bond lengths.

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

8. (C)

Sol.

Sol.

3. (D)
Sol. Hybridisation is calculated by steric number rule. 9. (D)
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 Sol.
=3+0=3 sp2
Steric no. for SO42– = 4 + 0 = 4 sp3 ; Steric no. for SO32–
=3+1=4 sp 3

Steric no. for PCl4+ = 4 + 0 = 4 sp3 ; Steric no. for BF4– = 4 + 0

= 4 sp3 10. (C)
Steric no. for XeO3 = 3 + 1 = 4 sp3 ; Steric no. for XeO4 Sol. The O–O bond length in O2F2 is shorter than O–O bond length in
=4+0=4 sp 3 H2O2.
Steric no. for XeF4 = 4 + 2 = 6 sp3d2 ; Steric no. for ClO4–
=4+0=4 sp3 11. (B)
Sol. (A) Amongst hexahalides of sulphur, only SF6 is exceptionally
4 (B) 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.
Sol. [N N N]– (C) NCl5 does not exist as there is no d-orbital with N.
sp (D) BF63– does not exist as there is no vacant d-orbital in B and
(linear) hence it cannot exceed its covalency beyond four.

12. (C)

5. (A)
Sol. BF3 (sp2) + F–  BF 4– (sp3).

6. (B) Sol.

Sol. In structure of S2O72– there is one S – O – S linkage but no S–S
linkage.

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

element must be low.
(ii) Negative value of electron gain enthalpy [X (g) + e–  X–(g)]
of electronegative element should be high.
