In `TeCl_4`, the central tellurium involves the hybridizationA. `sp^3`B. `sp^3d`C. `sp^3d^2`D. `dsp^2`

Answer» Correct Answer - B
Valence shell electron configuration of `Te` is `5s^2 5p^4`, i.e., it has 6 valence electrons. Four `e^(-)s` are used to form bonds with `4Cl` atoms while `2e^(-)s` form one lone pair. Thus, `SN` of `Te` is `4+1=5`. This implies `Te` makes use of five hybrid orbitals which come from `sp^3d` hybridization.

Which among the following has smallest bond angle ?A. `H_2S`B. `H_2O`C. `NH_3`D. `SO_2`

Answer» Correct Answer - A
In both `NH_3` and `SO_2`, the central atoms (N and S) carry only one lone pair of electrons while in `H_2S` and `H_2O`, the central atoms (S and O) carry two lone pairs. Due to lone pair-lone pair repulsion, the latter molecules will have smaller bond angles than the former molecules. In similar molecules (`H_2overset(..)S:` and `H_2overset(..)O:`), the bond angle decreases as the size of the central atom increases and its electronegativity decreases. Thus, `H_2S` has the smallest bond angle as sulphur is bigger than oxygen and less electronegative:
`H_2S(92.5^@) lt H_2O(104.5^@) lt NH_3(107.5^@) lt SO_2(119^@)`
