1 Taking benzene as example explain resonance. Write any two characteristics

of resonance hybrid.

2 Which hybrid orbitals are used by carbon atoms in the following molecules?

CH3–CH3; (b) CH3–CH=CH2; (c) CH3-CH2-OH; (d) CH3-CHO (e) CH3COOH

3 Determine the oxidation no. of all the atoms in the following oxidants:

KMnO4, K2Cr2O7 and KClO4

4 Why CH4 is not square planar but tetrahedral in geometry?

5 Draw the hybrid orbital diagram of BF3 , BeCl2

Group 2

1 How do we express Bond Strength in terms of Bond Order and Bond

Length?

2 Draw the hybrid orbitals of NH3 and H2O

3 Although geometries of NH3 and H2Oare distorted tetrahedral, bond angle

in water is less than in ammonia.

4 Explain resonance with example
