The correct Answer is:
To determine the total number of compounds from the given list that have equal bond lengths, we will analyze each compound step by step. 1. **PCl₅ (Phosphorus Pentachloride)**: - Phosphorus has 5 valence electrons, and it forms 5 bonds with chlorine. - The hybridization is sp³d, resulting in a trigonal bipyramidal shape. - In this shape, the axial bonds (2) and equatorial bonds (3) have different bond lengths. - **Conclusion**: Not all bond lengths are equal. 2. **PF₅ (Phosphorus Pentafluoride)**: - Similar to PCl₅, phosphorus forms 5 bonds with fluorine. - The hybridization is also sp³d, with a trigonal bipyramidal shape. - Again, axial and equatorial bond lengths differ. - **Conclusion**: Not all bond lengths are equal. 3. **SF₄ (Sulfur Tetrafluoride)**: - Sulfur has 6 valence electrons and forms 4 bonds with fluorine. - The hybridization is sp³d, and the shape is seesaw due to one lone pair. - The bond lengths are not equal due to the presence of the lone pair. - **Conclusion**: Not all bond lengths are equal. 4. **XeF₂ (Xenon Difluoride)**: - Xenon has 8 valence electrons and forms 2 bonds with fluorine. - The hybridization is sp³d, resulting in a linear shape. - Both bond lengths are equal as both fluorine atoms occupy axial positions. - **Conclusion**: All bond lengths are equal. 5. **XeF₄ (Xenon Tetrafluoride)**: - Xenon forms 4 bonds with fluorine and has 2 lone pairs. - The hybridization is sp³d², resulting in a square planar shape. - All bond lengths are equal due to symmetry. - **Conclusion**: All bond lengths are equal. 6. **XeF₆ (Xenon Hexafluoride)**: - Xenon forms 6 bonds with fluorine and has no lone pairs. - The hybridization is sp³d³, resulting in an octahedral shape. - All bond lengths are equal due to symmetry. - **Conclusion**: All bond lengths are equal. 7. **SF₆ (Sulfur Hexafluoride)**: - Sulfur forms 6 bonds with fluorine and has no lone pairs. - The hybridization is sp³d², resulting in an octahedral shape. - All bond lengths are equal due to symmetry. - **Conclusion**: All bond lengths are equal. 8. **ClF₃ (Chlorine Trifluoride)**: - Chlorine has 7 valence electrons and forms 3 bonds with fluorine. - The hybridization is sp³d, resulting in a T-shaped structure due to 2 lone pairs. - The bond lengths are not equal due to the lone pairs affecting the geometry. - **Conclusion**: Not all bond lengths are equal. 9. **BrF₅ (Bromine Pentafluoride)**: - Bromine has 7 valence electrons and forms 5 bonds with fluorine. - The hybridization is sp³d², resulting in a square pyramidal shape. - The bond lengths are not equal due to the lone pair affecting the geometry. - **Conclusion**: Not all bond lengths are equal. 10. **Ni(CO)₄ (Nickel Tetracarbonyl)**: - Nickel forms 4 bonds with carbon monoxide. - The hybridization is sp³, resulting in a tetrahedral shape. - All bond lengths are equal due to symmetry. - **Conclusion**: All bond lengths are equal. 11. **IF₇ (Iodine Heptafluoride)**: - Iodine has 7 valence electrons and forms 7 bonds with fluorine. - The hybridization is sp³d³, resulting in a pentagonal bipyramidal shape. - All bond lengths are equal due to symmetry. - **Conclusion**: All bond lengths are equal. ### Summary of Findings: - Compounds with equal bond lengths: **XeF₂, XeF₄, XeF₆, SF₆, Ni(CO)₄, IF₇** - Total number of compounds with equal bond lengths: **6** ### Final Answer: The total number of compounds having all bond lengths equal is **6**.

To determine the total number of compounds from the given list that have equal bond lengths, we will analyze each compound step by step. 1. **PCl₅ (Phosphorus Pentachloride)**: - Phosphorus has 5 valence electrons, and it forms 5 bonds with chlorine. - The hybridization is sp³d, resulting in a trigonal bipyramidal shape. - In this shape, the axial bonds (2) and equatorial bonds (3) have different bond lengths. - **Conclusion**: Not all bond lengths are equal. ...
