Seema Saini Solutions for Chapter: Chemical Bonding and Molecular Structure, Exercise 5: DPP

Which of the following species is/are having only one corner shared per tetrahedron?

There is a change in the type of hybridisation when:

Which of the following is (are) linear?

Which of the following statement is/are correct?

Choose the correct statements.

In ${\mathrm{ClF}}_3,$ the chlorine orbitals undergo hybridisation of the type

VSEPR theory can predict the structures of inorganic compounds. The perfect structures are also distorted to some extent due to repulsion amongst the pair of electrons. In general, the order of repulsion follows the order lone pair-lone pair > lone pairbonding pair > bonding pair-bonding pair.

Based on these information, answer the following three questions.

The shape of ${\mathrm{ClF}}_3$ is _______.

Which of the following statements is correct for ${\mathrm{ClF}}_3?$
