1. According to VSEPR theory, the most probable shape of the molecule having 4 electron pairs in the outershell of the central atom is
a) linear
b) tetrahedral
c) hexahedral
d) octahedral
Explanation: Tetrahedral
2. The geometry of \[CIO_3^-\] ion according to Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion (VSEPR) theory will be
a) planar triangular
b) pyramidal
c) tetrahedral
d) square planar
Explanation: Hybridisation is sp3 and shape pyramidal
3. Among the following ions, the \[p\pi-d\pi\] overlap could be present in
a) \[NO_3^-\]
b) \[PO_4^{3-}\]
c) \[CO_3^{2-}\]
d) \[NO_2^-\]
Explanation: Hybridisation in \[PO_4^{3-}\] = ½ [5 + 0 + 3 –0] = 4 sp3 . In \[\pi\] bonding only d orbital of P, p orbital of O can be involved. Since hybrid atomic orbitals do not form \[\pi\] bond.
