The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the statements regarding the chemical bonding in the given compounds are true, we will analyze each statement step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze the first statement about BRF5 - **Statement**: The number of 90-degree F-Br angles in BRF5 is 4. - **Analysis**: - The hybridization of bromine in BRF5 can be calculated using the formula: \[ H = \frac{1}{2} \left( \text{Valence electrons of Br} + \text{Number of monovalent atoms} - \text{Charge} \right) \] - Bromine has 7 valence electrons, and there are 5 fluorine atoms (monovalent), so: \[ H = \frac{1}{2} (7 + 5 - 0) = \frac{12}{2} = 6 \quad \Rightarrow \quad \text{Hybridization} = sp^3d^2 \] - This indicates that there are 6 hybrid orbitals. Since there is one lone pair, the geometry is octahedral with the lone pair at the axial position. - The bond angles are affected by the lone pair, and thus none of the F-Br angles are 90 degrees; they are reduced to about 84 degrees due to lone pair-bond pair repulsion. - **Conclusion**: This statement is **false**. ### Step 2: Analyze the second statement about trimethylamine and trisilane - **Statement**: The molecular geometry of trimethylamine and trisilane are trigonal planar. - **Analysis**: - Trimethylamine (N(CH₃)₃) has a nitrogen atom with one lone pair and three methyl groups. Its geometry is trigonal pyramidal, not trigonal planar. - Trisilane (Si₃N) does exhibit trigonal planar geometry due to back bonding between the lone pair of nitrogen and the d-orbitals of silicon. - **Conclusion**: This statement is **false** because trimethylamine is not trigonal planar. ### Step 3: Analyze the third statement about bond lengths - **Statement**: The carbon-carbon bond length in C2 is larger than the oxygen-oxygen bond length. - **Analysis**: - In C2, the carbon atoms are connected by a double bond (C=C), while in O2, the oxygen atoms are also connected by a double bond (O=O). - However, oxygen is more electronegative than carbon, which pulls the electron density closer to the oxygen atoms, resulting in a shorter bond length. - **Conclusion**: This statement is **true**. ### Step 4: Analyze the fourth statement about ozone - **Statement**: For ozone, one O-O bond is stronger than the other. - **Analysis**: - Ozone (O₃) exhibits resonance, meaning that the two O-O bonds are equivalent due to the delocalization of electrons. - Therefore, it is incorrect to say that one bond is stronger than the other; both bonds are equivalent in strength. - **Conclusion**: This statement is **false**. ### Final Conclusion After analyzing all statements, we find that only the third statement is true. ### Summary of True Statements - Only the third statement: "The carbon-carbon bond length in C2 is larger than the oxygen-oxygen bond length" is true.

To determine which of the statements regarding the chemical bonding in the given compounds are true, we will analyze each statement step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze the first statement about BRF5 - **Statement**: The number of 90-degree F-Br angles in BRF5 is 4. - **Analysis**: - The hybridization of bromine in BRF5 can be calculated using the formula: \[ H = \frac{1}{2} \left( \text{Valence electrons of Br} + \text{Number of monovalent atoms} - \text{Charge} \right) ...
