Assignment ( 5 marks each )

1. (a) Write the electron dot structure of :

H3PO4, COCl2, H2SO4
(b) Using VSEPR theory, identify the type of hybridisation of oxygen in
OF2 molecule. Draw the structure of OF2 and mention the oxidation
states each of O and F.
2. Write the molecular orbital configuration of the following species :
N2, N2+, N2−, N22−
(a) Calculate their bond orders.
(b) Predict their magnetic behaviour.
(c) Which of these shows the highest paramagnetism.
3. (a) Mention important conditions required for the linear combination of
atomic orbitals to form molecular orbitals.
(b) Define hydrogen bond. Write the necessary conditions for the
formation of hydrogen bond. Describe by giving one suitable example
each of intermolecular and intramolecular hydrogen bonding.
4. Draw the molecular orbital diagram of O2 molecule.
For the species O2, O2+, O2− (superoxide) and O22− (peroxide)
(a) Calculate their bond orders.
(b) Compare their relative stabilities.
(c) Indicate their magnetic properties.
5. (a) Define the term hybridisation.
(b) State four salient features of hybridisation.
(c) Describe the hybridisation in case of PCl5. Why are the axial bonds
longer as compared to equatorial bonds ?
