In chemistry, .mole.is an essential tool for the chemical calculations. It is a basic S.I. unit adopted by the 14^(th) general conference on weights and measurements in 1971. A mole contains as many elementary particles as the number of atoms present in 12 g of C. 1 mole of a gas at STP occupies 22.4 litre volume. Molar volume of solids and liquids is not definite. Molar mass of a substance is also called gram atomic mass or gram molar mass. The virtual meaning of mole is plenty, heap or the collection of large numbers. 1 mole of a substance contains 6.023xx10^(23) elementary particles like atom or molecule. Atomic mass unit (amu) is the unit of atomic mass, e.g., atomic mass of single carbon is 12 amu. x L N_(2) gas at STP contains 3xx10^(22) molecules. The number of molecules in x L ozone at STP will be

In CH_(4),NH_(3) and H_(2)O, the central atom undergoes sp^(3) hybridisation - yet their bond angles are different. Why ?

Answer»

Solution :(i) In `CH_(4),NH_(3)` and `H_(2)O` the central atom undergoes `sp^(3)` hybridisation. But their bond angles are different DUE to the presence of lone pair of electrons.
It can be explained by VSEPR theory. According to this theory, even though the hybridisation is same, the repulsive force between the bond pairs and lone pairs are not same.
(iii) Bond pair - Bond `lt` Bond pair - Lone pair `lt` Lone pair - Lone pair
so due to the varying repulsive force the bond pairs and lone pairs are distored from regular geometry and organise themselves in such a way that repultion will be minimum and stabily will be MAXIMUM.
(iv) In case of `CH_(4)`, there are 4 bond pairs and no lone pair of electrons. So it remains in its regular geometry. i.e., tetrahedral with bond angle `=190^(@)28.`
`H_(2)O` has 2 bond pairs and 2 lone pairs. There is large repsultion between lp-lp. Again repultion between lp-bp is more than that of 2 bond pairs. So 2 bond are more restricted to form inverted V shape (or) bent shape molecule with a bond angle of `104^(@)35.`
(vi) `NH_(3)` has 3 bond pairs and 1 lone pair. There is repulsion between lp-bp. So 3 bonds are more retricted to form pyramidal shape with bond angle equal to `107^(@)18.`

In CH_(4),NH_(3) and H_(2)O the central atom undergoes sp hybridization - yet their bond angles are different. Why?

Answer»

SOLUTION :(i) In `CH_(4),NH_(3)` and `H_(2)O` the central atom undergoes `sp^(3)` hybridisation. But their bond angles different due to the presence of lone pair of electrons.
(ii) It can be EXPLAINED by VSEPR theory. According to this theory, even though the hybridisation is same, the repulsive force between the bond pairs and lone pairs are not same.
(iii) Bond pair-Bond pair < Bond pair - Lone pair < Lone pair - Lone pair
So due to the varying repulsive force the bond pairs and lone pairs are distorted from regular geometry and organise themselves in such a way that repulsion will be minimum and STABILITY will be maximum.
(iv) In case of `CH_(4)` there are 4 bond pairs and no lone pair of electrons. So it remains in its regular geometry. i.e., tetrahedral with bond ANGLE = `109^(@)28`’.
(v) H.Ohas 2 bond pairs and 2 lone pairs. There is large repulsion between Ip-ip. Again repulsion between Ip-bp is more than that of 2 bond pairs. So 2 bonds are more restricted to form inverted V shape (or) bent shape MOLECULE with a bond angle of `104^(@)35`..
(vi) NH, has 3 bond pairs and I lone pair. There is repulsion between Ip-bp. So 3 bonds are more restricted to form pyramidal shape with bond angle equal to 107°

In CH_(4),NH_(3) " and " H_(2)O the central atomundergoes sp^(3) hybridlsation - yet their bond angles are different.

Answer»

Solution :(i) In `CH_(4), NH_(3) and H_(2)0` the central atom undergoes `sp^(3)` hybridisation. But their bond angles are different due to the presence of lone pair of electrons.
(ii)It can be explained by VSEPR THEORY. According to this theory, even though the hybridisation is same, the repulsive force between the bond pairs and lone pairs are not same.
(iii) Bond pair-Bond pair `lt` Bond pair - Lone pair `lt` Lone pair - Lone pair So due to the varying repulsive force the bond pairs and lone pairs are distorted from REGULAR geometry and organise themselves in such a way that repulsion will be minimum and stability will be maximum.
(IV) In case of `CH_(4),`there are 4 bond pairs and no lone pair of electrons. So it remains in its regular geometry. i.e., tetrahedral with bond angle `= 109^(@) 28..`
(v) `H_(2)O` has 2 bond is pairs and 2 lone pairs. There is large repulsion between lp-lp. Again repulsion between lp-bp is more than that of 2 hond pairs. So 2 bonds are more restricted Om nverted V shape (or) bent shape molecule with a bond angle of `104^(@) 35..`
(vi) `NH_(3)` has 3bond pairs and I lone pair, There is repulsion between lp-bp. So 3 bonds are more restricted to form pyramidal shape with bond angle EQUAL to `107^(@) 18..`
