CCI4 Use VSEPR theory to decide which one of the following molecules will definitely have at least one 120° bond angle in it. 5. A. NH3 B. CH4 C. CO D. PCls E. H20 co2

Explanation / Answer

Q1)a:Pi bonds are formed perpendicular to the plane.It is stable in one orientation only, therefore it breaks on rotation or we can say that it restricts rotation along bond axis.

b:end to end overlap is involved in sigma bonding.

c:it involves both s and p orbitals.

d;it occurs in the plane perpendicular to the bond axis.

Therefore only option a is correct.

Q2); Cyanogen Chlorine C is connected to N by a triple bond and there is only one bond between C and Cl.

Q3) H2 has total two electrons.considering the energy level,sigma has less energy than sigma star orbital.

So elecons will be first filled in sigma 1s bond.since it can accommodate 2 electrons,so there are no electrons in sigma star orbital.

Q4): In CCl4,angle between trans position of C and Cl is 180 degree, which cancels the dipole moment.Hence net dipole moment is zero.
