(a) A only (b) A and B only (c) A and C only (d) A, B and C
2 What is the total number of sigma and pi bonds in the following molecules?
3 The skeletal structure of CH3COOH as shown below is correct, but some of the
bonds are shown incorrectly. Write the correct Lewis structure for acetic acid.
4 The bond order in NO is 2.5 while that in NO+ is 3. Which of the following statements is
true for these two species?
8 How many overlaps possible between the orbital? Which is stronger? 9 What do
covalent radius? How is it differing from Vander wall radius? 11 Although both
molecule is bent while that of CO2 is linear. Explain this on the basis of dipole
moment.
3 Which one O2- and O22 − may exhibit Para magnetism? Explain why?
15 In H2O, H2S, H2Se, H2Te, the bond angle decreases though all have the same
bent shape. Why?
