Solution

The correct option is D LP - LP > LP - BP > BP - BP
∙ The pair of electrons in valence shell of an atom that does not participate in bonding are called lone pair of electrons.

∙ The electrons that are shared between two atoms to form a covalent bond are called bond pair electrons.

∙ The bond pair and lone pair electrons repel each other in a molecule.

∙ The strength of repulsions is in the following order:
lone pair - lone pair repulsions > lone pair - bond pair repulsions > bond pair - bond pair repulsions or LP - LP > LP - BP > BP - BP.

Q. Give the correct order of initials T or F for the following statements. Use T if statement is true and use F if the statement is false:
(I) The order of repulsion between pair of electrons is lp−lp>lp−bp>bp−bp where lp=lone pair, bp=bond papir
(II) In general, as the number of lone pair of electrons on central atom increases , value of bond angle from normal bond angle also increases.
(III) The number of lone pair on O in H2O is 2 while on N in NH3 is 1.
(IV) The structures of xenon flourides and xenon oxyflourides could not be explained on the basis of VSEPR theory.
Q. The number of lp-bp repulsion present in ClF3 at nearly 90 degree angle are_______.
Q. The number of lp-bp repulsion present in ClF3 at nearly 90 degree angle are :
Q. Assertion :N(CH3)3 is pyramidal but N(SiH3)3 is planar. Reason: In N(CH3)3, lone pair on N remains on it causing lp−bp repulsion while in N(SiH3)3, lone pair is transferred to vacant d-orbital of Si.
Q. Hybridization is the chemist's attempt to explain the observed molecular shape by constructing hybridized atomic orbitals with the appropriate inter orbital angles. The molecule for which deviation from a normal bond angle is observed, VSEPR theory suggests electron pair repulsive interaction (lp−lp>lp−bp>bp). While from hybridization point of view that is a departure from normal hybridization because the angle between any equivalent hybrid orbitals determines the fraction of s and p characters of the hybrid and vice-versa.
In which species number of lone pairs on iodine and number of d-orbitals used in hybridization by iodine are the same?
