The correct reason for higher B - F bond dissociation energy as comparad to that of C - F isA. smallar size of B-atom as compared to that of C-atomB. stronger `sigma`-bond between B and F in `BF_(3)`as compared to that between C and F in `CF_(4)`C. significant `ppi-ppi` interaction between B and F in `BF_(3)` whereas there is no possibility of such interaction between C and F in `CF_(4)`D. lower degree of `ppi-ppi` interaction between B and F in `BF_(3)` than between C and F in `CF_(4) `

Answer» Correct Answer - C
The empty `2p_(z)` orbitals of B which is not involved
in the hybridisation can accept an electron pair
from a full `2p_(z)` orbitals of any F-atom , formaing
` pi`-bond . Thus , B-F bond length becomes shorter.
Hence, bond is stronger and dissociation energy
is higher .

Consider the statements : I . Bond length in `N_(2)^(+) is 0.002 Å` greater than in `N_(2)` II. Bond length in `NO^(+) is 0.09 Å` less than in NO III. `O_(2)^(2-)` has shorter bond length than `O_(2)` which of the following statements are ture ?A. I and IIB. II and IIIC. I, II and IIID. I and III

Answer» Correct Answer - A
Bond order of `N_(2)` is 3 and that of `N_(2)^(+)` is 2.5 .
Greater the bond order , shorter is the bond length
Hence order of NO is 2.5 and that of `NO^(+)` is 3 Thus , bond length of `NO^(+)` is shorter . Hence ,II is true
Bond order of `O_(2)` is 2 while that ` O_(2)^(2-)` is 1. Thus,
bond length of `O_(2)` is shorter . Hence , III is not ture .

Why `KHF_(2)` exists but `KHCl_(2)` does not ?

Answer» Due to H-bonding in HF, we have
`H-F----H-F----H-F----`
This can dissociate to give `HF_(2)^(-)` ion and hence `KHF_(2)` exists but there is no H-bonding in H-Cl. So `Hcl_(2)^(-)`
ion does not exist and hence `KHCl_(2)` also does not exist

When we move from HF to HCl , the boiling point sharply but on moving further to HBr and HI the boiling point increases . Why ? Or Out of HF, HCl , HBr and HI which has boiling point and why ?

Answer» In H-F , there is H-boiling point is high . There is no H-bonding in HCl . So the
boiling point is less . On moving further to HBr and HI, the size of the molecule increases and so the
van der Waals forces increase and so does the boiling point . Hence , HCl has the lowest boiling point.

Which of the following species has the shortest bond length ? `NO, NO^(+), NO^(2+),NO^(-)`

Answer» The electronic configurations and the bond orders of these species are as follows : (NO has 7 + 8 = 15
electrons)
`NO: KK sigma_(2s) ^(2)sigma_(2s) ^(**2)sigma_(2p_(z)) ^(2)pi_(2p_(x))^(2) pi_(2p_(x))^(**1) " "` Bond order `= (1)/(2) (8-3) = 2.5 `
`NO^(2+)` : One electron is removed from `pi_(2p_(x)) ^(**)` of NO, Bond order =` (1)/(2) (8-4) = 2 `
Thus , ` NO^(+)` has the highest bond order and , therefore, the shortest bond length .
