Question
Chemistry Question on Chemical bonding and molecular structure
Which of the following order is correct?
A
AlCl3<MgCl2<NaCl: Polarising powre
B
CO>CO2>HCO2−CO32− : Bond length
C
BeCl2<NF3<NH3 : Dipole moment
D
H2S>NH3>SiH4BF3 : Bond angle
Answer
BeCl2<NF3<NH3 : Dipole moment
Explanation
Solution
(a) Polarising power of cations increases with the increasing charge. NaCl(+1) $$ \underset{\text{109^{\circ}28'}}{ {SiH4}} > \underset{\text{107^{\circ}}}{ {NH3}} > \underset{\text{93.3^{\circ}}}{ {H2S}}
