Oxygen has __ lone pairs of electrons in water molecule.

Which of the following act as a ligand but does not have any lone pair of electrons ?

(A): The bond dissociation energy of fluorine is less than bromine. (R): In fluorine molecule, large lone pair electronic repulsions and appreciable internuclear repulsions are present.

In which of the following pairs, the central atoms have the same number of lone pairs of electrons?

The geometry of a molecule depends upon the repulsions between electron pairs present in the valance shell of the central atom. LP - LP repulsions are greater than LP-BP which are greater than BP - BP. A pi bond can not decide the geometry of a molecule because pi bond has no independent exsistance. Deviations in bond angle are due to the presence of lone pairs. In which of the following orientation of electron pairs around the central atom is tetrahedral ?

PASSAGE - 3 : In modern periodic table there is gradation in the properties of elements. In a period the Ionisation energy, Electron affinity, Electro negativity, Non-Metallic nature increases. In a group the atomic size, metallic nature, reducing properties and densities of elements increases. Whic pair of elements have positive electron affinity values

During chemical bond formation the potential energy of the bonding atoms decreases. According to VBT bond strength depends on extent of over lapping. Shapes and bond angles of the molecules were explained by VSEPR theory. This theory explains the Geometry of the molecules based on the repulsions among the valance shell electron pairs. As number of lone pairs increases repulsions increases apd the shape is altered accordingly. Katio of lone pairs and bond pair electrons in H_(2) O molecule respectively
