The correct Answer is:
To determine which statements are true regarding the compounds mentioned, we will analyze each statement step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze pH5 and BiCl5 - **Statement**: pH5 and BiCl5 do not exist. - **Explanation**: Phosphorus (P) is more electronegative than hydrogen (H), which means that H cannot exert enough charge to allow phosphorus to achieve a valency of 5. Therefore, pH5 does not exist. Similarly, BiCl5 is also not stable due to similar reasons. - **Conclusion**: This statement is **true**. ### Step 2: Analyze SO3 and p pi d pi bonds - **Statement**: There are two p pi d pi bonds in SO3. - **Explanation**: Sulfur (S) is a third-period element and has access to d orbitals. In SO3, sulfur can form p pi d pi bonds with the oxygen atoms. The presence of these bonds is due to the ability of sulfur to utilize its d orbitals in bonding. - **Conclusion**: This statement is **true**. ### Step 3: Analyze SeF4 and CH4 structures - **Statement**: SeF4 and CH4 are tetrahedral. - **Explanation**: CH4 (methane) has a tetrahedral structure due to its four equivalent C-H bonds. However, SeF4 (selenium tetrafluoride) has a seesaw shape, which is not tetrahedral. Therefore, while CH4 is tetrahedral, SeF4 is not. - **Conclusion**: This statement is **false**. ### Step 4: Analyze I3- structure and hybridization - **Statement**: I3- is a linear molecule with sp3 hybridization. - **Explanation**: The I3- ion has a linear structure due to the arrangement of three iodine atoms, but it does not have sp3 hybridization. The correct hybridization for I3- is sp3d, as it involves the presence of lone pairs and a linear arrangement. - **Conclusion**: This statement is **false**. ### Final Conclusion: The true statements are: 1. pH5 and BiCl5 do not exist. (True) 2. There are two p pi d pi bonds in SO3. (True) 3. SeF4 and CH4 are tetrahedral. (False) 4. I3- is a linear molecule with sp3 hybridization. (False) Thus, the correct options are **A and B**. ---
