Solution to 7.1

Most basic species = N2 H4

Because 1 lone pair is present on Nitrogen and moreover all other species
either have lone pair on oxygen or on more electronegative Nitrogen due to
which lone pair giving tendency ↓

GRAMOLY INCHO 2004 P7 January 15, 2022 10 / 13

Solution to 7.4

A is most stable because:

All Octets are complete.
No element is expending it’s capability to form minimum number of
bonds.
-ve is on most electronegative atom (i.e Oxygen)

Using VSEPR theory, calculate the total valence shell electrons in SF4 and
SF6 molecules. Draw structures with appropriate geometry of these
molecules and indicate the location/s of lone pair/s wherever present.
