Question

Assertion :When the unshared pairs house in the hybrid orbitals, its consideration becomes accountable and it is referred to as hybrid lone pair moment. Reason: The hybrid orbital concentrated the electron cloud in some particular directions and the electron cloud remains under the control of a single nucleus.

Read the above assertion and reason and choose the correct option regarding it.

• A. Assertion is true, Reason is true and Reason is correct explanation for Assertion
• B. Assertion is true, Reason is true and Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion
• C. Assertion is true, Reason is false
• D. Assertion is false, Reason is true

Answer 1

The correct option is A

Assertion is true, Reason is true and Reason is correct explanation for Assertion

When the unshared pairs house in the hybrid orbitals, its consideration becomes accountable and it is referred to as hybrid lone pair moment. The direction of the dipole moment is from the nucleus to the lone pair of electron.
The dipole moment is always in the direction of partial positive charge to partial negative charge.
The hybrid orbital concentrated the electron cloud in some particular directions and the electron cloud remains under the control of a single nucleus.
Hence, Assertion is true, Reason is true and Reason is correct explanation for Assertion.
