Embibe Experts Solutions for Chapter: Chemical Bonding and Molecular Structure, Exercise 3: Level 3

Consider the following statement and arrange in the order of true / false.

${\mathrm{S}}_1$: In ${\mathrm{SnCl}}_2$, the bonding takes place in the ground state and the bond angle $\mathrm{Cl}-\mathrm{Sn}-\mathrm{Cl}$ is slightly less than $120°$.

${\mathrm{S}}_2$: The molecular geometry of ${\mathrm{XeF}}_7^{+}$ is pentagonal bipyramidal having two different $\mathrm{Xe}-\mathrm{F}$ bond lengths.

${\mathrm{S}}_3$: In ${\mathrm{SF}}_4$, the bond angles, instead of being $90°$ and $180°$, are $89°$ and $177°$ respectively due to the presence of a lone pair.
