Chemical Bonding and Molecular Structure Questions

Multiple choice
  1. Lithiumhydride

  2. Lithium ethoxide

  3. Lithium propnoate

  4. Lithium dimethylamide

  5. Tert-butyllithium

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
E Correct answer
Explanation

This option is correct because in Tert-butyllithium, (CH3)3C, Li+ Lithium metal is directly bonded to carbon atom, hence Tert-butyllithium is an organometallic compound.

Multiple choice
  1. CaCO3

  2. NaOH

  3. HCl

  4. KMnO4

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

A binary compound consists of exactly two different elements. HCl (hydrochloric acid) is composed of hydrogen and chlorine, making it a binary compound.

Multiple choice
  1. The Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion (VSEPR) model

  2. MO theory

  3. VB theory

  4. Crystal Field Theory

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Bonding in a complex ion is due to electrostatic interactions between the positively charged nucleus of the central metal ion and electrons in the ligands i.e., attractive as well as repulsive interactions

Multiple choice
  1. molecular crystals

  2. covalent crystals

  3. metallic crystals

  4. ionic crystals

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

The ionic crystals consist of positively and negatively charged ions arranged in a regular fashion throughout the crystal. They form a network of positive and negative ions in three dimension in such a way that cations and anions occupy alternate sites. These are held together by strong electrostatic forces.Common examples of ionic crystals are, salts like NaCl, KNO3, LiF etc. 

Multiple choice
  1. aluminium dodecaboride

  2. aluminium fluoride

  3. aluminium iodide

  4. Aluminium hydride

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Aluminium iodide is any chemical compound containing only aluminium and iodine. Aluminium iodide is employed as a catalyst to break certain kinds of C-O and N-O bonds. It cleaves aryl ethers and deoxygenates epoxides.

Multiple choice
  1. aluminium isopropoxide

  2. aluminium magnesium boride

  3. aluminium nitrate

  4. aluminium nitride

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Aluminium nitride (AlN) is a nitride of aluminium. Its wurtzite phase (w-AlN) is a wide band gap (6.2 eV) semiconductor material, giving it potential application for deep ultraviolet optoelectronics.
