Q1. (B)
In all the given molecules, anion (i.e. ) is common, thus lattice energy depends upon the size of
cations. T he order of size is

Ionic character ∝size of catiion

T hus, the order of lattice energy is

Q2. (B)

Formal charge on an atom in a Lewis Structure = [total number of valence
electrons in free atom] – [total number of non-bonding (lone pairs) electrons]-
[total number of bonding or shared electrons]
Formal charge on
Q3. (D )
is in the same group as nitrogen and has 5 valence electrons, so clearly it needs 3 bonds to
complete its octet. In , however has 5 bonds (one each with a chlorine atom) and hence
does not follow the octet rule as it has 10 shared electrons.

Q5. (D )
T he electronic structure according to the molecular orbital theory for each of these species is

Clearly option (C), is the only species that has unpaired electrons.
Q6. (B)
T he internuclear axis is along the z-axis implies that sigma bond will be formed only if the
overlapping occurs along the z-axis. T his occurs for all except (b) where an s and orbital ,
where the overlap occurs along the x-axis.
Q7. (A)

D ue to resonance in , the bond length will be in between and .

being a single bond is larger than the

Q8. (D )
Option A: has one lone pair of electrons and hence is hybridized.
When a ion comes close to it, it forms a bond with the 2 electrons from nitrogen, transferring
the + charge to the nitrogen atom. T his does not change the shape or the hybridization
Option B: Here the hybridization of each atom remains the same, i.e. C atom. And the shape of all
entities around it also remains the same. Important thing is to look at one atom at a time, we will
see that the hybridization in both cases is
Option C: T his is similar to option A, the only difference being that the central atom is O with two
lone pair of electrons, one pair of which, is what the ion is attracted to and the hybridization
remains the same – i.e.
Option D : there is a change in hybridization as well as structure ( to and planar to
tetrahedral, which is shown in the diagram below)

NOT E: in case of A and B, there will be a slight distortion in the tetrahedral structure but the
hybridization does not change and by en large, the shape is still tetrahedral hence the only
correct answer is D ).

Q9. (C)
square planar all bonds are identical
Tetrahedral (all bonds are identicall)

In , all bonds are not bond. T here is also a bond.

Tetrahedral (all bonds are identical)
T hus, in all the bonds are not identical.
Q10. (D )
T he Lewis structure of the ion is as follows:

(A) - Correct. Clearly, the central atom has lone pairs of electrons.
(B) - Correct. For the central iodine atoms, there are two bond pair of electrons and lone
pairs of electrons that need to be distributed in a trigonal bipyramidal fashion ( electron pairs in
all). Since lone pair-lone pair repulsions are maximum, the lone pairs occupy the equatorial
positions and the bond pairs occupy the axial positions.
(C) Correct. T he shape is clearly linear, leading to a bond angle.
(D ) - Incorrect. D iscussed in option B clearly.
Q11. (D )
has zero dipole moment due to it's trigonal planar geometry. For all other dipole moment is
not zero because of lone pairs

Q12. (C)
Being symmetrical has zero dipole moment among and , dipole moment is
highest for as in it the central atom contain 2 lone pairs

Q13. (B)
due to high electronegativity of F which causes electron pairs further way from the
central atom , so they can be compressed and closer together.
since nitrogen is more electronegative than phosphorus. Lone pair is closer to the
central nitrogen atom. Hence, the bond angle in nitrogen is higher.
Q14. (D )
T he structure of the given molecules are as follows:

T he net dipole moment is zero for non-polar compounds. From the structures, it can be seen that
and are non-polar as their net dipole is zero. T rigonal planar and trigonal bipyramidal
have symmetrical shape such that the dipoles cancel each other. has tetrahedral shape
with one lone pair of electrons making it a polar compound.

Q15. (A)
In , there is back bonding between fluorine and boron due to presence of orbital in boron.

, back bonding imparts double bond characteristics.

As forms adduct the back bonding is no longer present and thus double bond characteristic
disappears. Hence, bond becomes a bit longer than earlier .
Q16. 4.00
T he two hydrogen atoms of the water molecule form hydrogen bonds with oxygen atoms of
another water molecule, and the two lone pair of electrons on the oxygen of the same water
molecule can attract hydrogen atoms in other water molecules. So, 4 hydrogen bonds are
possible with one water.
