The following questions are case -based questions. Each question has an internal choice and
carries 4 marks. Read the text carefully and answer the questions:
1 X 4 =4
Lewis dot structures, in general, do not represent the actual shapes of the molecules. In case of
polyatomic ions, the net charge is possessed by the ion as a whole and not by a particular atom. It is,
however, feasible to assign a formal charge on each atom. The formal charge of an atom in a poly atomic
molecule or ion may be defined as the difference between the number of valence electrons of that atom in an
isolated or free state and the number of electrons assigned to that atom in the Lewis structure. It is expressed
as: Generally the lowest energy structure is the one with the smallest formal charges on the atoms. The
formal charge is a factor based on a pure covalent view of bonding in which electron pairs are shared
equally by neighbouring atoms. The octet rule, though useful, is not universal. It is quite useful for
understanding the structures of most of the organic compounds and it applies mainly to the second period
elements of the periodic table. There are three types of exceptions to the octet rule.
The Lattice Enthalpy of an ionic solid is defined as the energy required to completely separate one
mole of a solid ionic compound into gaseous constituent ions. For example, the lattice enthalpy of NaCl is
788 kJ mol–1. This means that 788 kJ of energy is required to separate one mole of solid NaCl into one mole
of Na+ (g) and one mole of Cl– (g) to an infinite distance. Bond length is defined as the equilibrium
distance between the nuclei of two bonded atoms in a molecule. Bond lengths are measured by
spectroscopic, X-ray diffraction and electron-diffraction techniques. The covalent radius is measured
approximately as the radius of an atom’s core which is in contact with the core of an adjacent atom in a
bonded situation. The Vander Waals radius represents the overall size of the atom which includes its
valence shell in a nonbonded situation. Bond Angle is defined as the angle between the orbitals containing
bonding electron pairs around the central atom in a molecule/complex ion. Bond angle is expressed in
degree which can be experimentally determined by spectroscopic methods. It gives some idea regarding the
distribution of orbitals around the central atom in a molecule/complex ion and hence it helps us in
determining its shape. The incomplete octet of the central atom Odd-electron molecules. The expanded octet
From the Kössel and Lewis treatment of the formation of an ionic bond, it follows that the formation of ionic
compounds would primarily depend upon: The ease of formation of the positive and negative ions from the
respective neutral atoms; The arrangement of the positive and negative ions in the solid, that is, the lattice of
the crystalline compound.

(b) X-ray diffraction (d) All the above
2) The unit of bond enthalpy is …

(b) increases , decreases (d) decreases , increases
4) The …. is measured approximately as the radius of an atom’s core which is in contact with the core of an
adjacent atom in a bonded situation.
(a) ionic radius (c) covalent radius
(b) Metallic radius (d) None of above
