Which of the following combination will form an electrovalent bond?
-
Solution
Higher the difference in electronegativity between the two atoms, more will be electrovalent character of the bond.
Among given choices, calcium and hydrogen have maximum difference in their electronegativities.
Which one of the following will dissolve in water most readily?
-
Solution
KF being highly ionic compound will dissolve most readily in water. (Like disolves like).
The types of bonds present in CuSO4. 5H2O are only
-
Solution
CuSO4. 5H2O can be represented as
So, in CuSO4. 5H2O one electrovalent bond, 5 coordinate bonds and covalent bonds are present.
The strength of bonds formed by s–s and p–p, s–p overlap in the order of
-
Solution
The strength of a bond depends upon the extent of overlapping.
s-s and s-p overlapping results in the formation of σ bond but extent of overlapping along inter nuclear axis is more in case of s-s overlapping than in s-p.
p-p overlapping may result in σ bond if overlapping takes place along inter nuclear axis or may result in π–bond if sideways overlapping takes place.
In any case the extent of overlapping is lesser in p - p than that of the other two,s - s and s-p.
Hence the correct order is s - s > s - p > p - p.
Which one of the following contains a co-ordinate covalent bond?
-
Solution
The compound which contains both ionic and covalent bond:
-
Solution
In KCN, K+ and CN- have ionic bond and C ≡ N has covalent bond.
Among the following which compound will show the highest lattice energy ?
-
Solution
For compounds containing cations of same charge,lattice energy increases as the size of the cation decrease.
Thus, NaF has highest lattice energy.
The size of cations is in the order Na+ < K+ < Rb+ < Cs+
Which of the following conceivable structures for CCl4 will have a zero dipole moment ?
-
Solution
In CCl4, each C – Cl bond is polar but due to the very symmetrical tetrahedral arrangement they exactly cancel each other and hence CCl4 have zero dipole moment.
So, none on these i.e. option (d) is correct choice.
Which of the following pairs will form the most stable ionic bond?
-
Solution
The stability of the ionic bond depends upon the lattice energy which is expected to be more between Mg and F due to +2 charge on Mg atom.
The following group does not contain a dative bond
-
Solution
Dative bond is formed between two atoms when the electrons of shared pair are contributed solely by one of the two atoms and it is directed toward that atom which do not contribute the electrons.
It is represented by an arrow on the bond which is directed towards the electron recipient atom.
