of O2+ and O2– species.
2) Write Lewis structure of the following compounds and show a formal charge on
each atom. HNO2, NO2, CO32-H2SO4
3) Give reasons for the following:

(i) Covalent bonds are directional bonds while ionic bonds are nondirectional.

(ii) Water molecule has bent structure whereas carbon dioxide molecule is linear.

(iii) Ethyne molecule is linear.

(iv) Sigma bonds stronger than pi bond?.

4) Arrange the following bonds in order of increasing ionic character giving reason.
N – H, F – H, C – H and 0 – H.
5) Predict the shapes of the following molecules on the basis of hybridization.

BCI3, CH4, CO2, NH3

6) Discuss the significance/ applications of dipole moment. Write the bond moments
and the resultant dipole moment in CO2, NF3 , CH4 ,NH3 and CHCI3.
7) Briefly describe the valence bond theory of covalent bond formation by taking an
example of hydrogen. How can you interpret energy changes taking place in the
formation of dihydrogen?
8) Draw the molecular orbital diagrams for O2, N2, He2
9) Describe hybridization in the case of PCl5 and SF6. The axial bonds are longer as
compared to equatorial bonds in PCl5 whereas in SF6, both axial bonds and
equatorial bonds have the same bond length. Explain.
10)Discuss the concept of hybridization. What are its different types in a carbon
atom?
11) Define BMO and ABMO.
12)List all the limitations of Octet rule with suitable examples.

Polarization is the distortion of the shape of an anion by an adjacently placed cation.
Which of the following statements is correct ?

a) Maximum polarization is brought about by a cation of high charge


b) Minimum polarization is brought about by a cation of low radius
c) A large cation is likely to bring about a large degree of polarization
d) A small anion is likely to undergo a large degree of polarization

14)Which among F– ion or an I– ion would be more polarisable?


15)Which compound should theoretically be the most ionic and covalent among the
metal halides?
16)Arrange the following items in ascending order of covalency:
17)(i) Sodium fluoride (NaF), sodium chloride (NaCl), sodium bromide (NaBr),
sodium iod

(ii) LiF, NaF, KF, RbF, CsF
