"Hybridisation of central atom does not always change due to back bonding". This statement is valid for which of the following compounds ? 
(i) $CCl^- _3$                      (ii) $CCl _2$
(iii) $(SiH _3) _2 O$              (iv) $N(SiH _3) _3$

A Correct answer
Explanation

When there is back bonding from central to side atom change in hybridization takes place. Back bonding takes place when one atom has vacant orbital and one has lone pairs. 
So central atom has a lone pair and side atom must have vacant orbital 
So : $CCl^- _3$
$N (SiH _3) _3$
$Sp^3 - Sp^2$

Which of the following molecules does not have co-ordinate bonds?

  1. $PH _{4}^{+}$
  2. $NO _2$
  3. $O _3$
  4. $CO _{3}^{2-}$

D Correct answer
Explanation

CO3(2-) is a resonance-stabilized ion where the bonding is described by delocalized electrons. While it can be represented with coordinate bonds in Lewis structures, PH4+, NO2, and O3 clearly feature dative bonds in their standard representations.

In potassium ferrocyanide, the nature of bond between iron and cyanide ions is :

  1. ionic bond

  2. covalent bond

  3. dative bond

  4. polar bond

C Correct answer
Explanation

In potassium ferrocyanide, iron atom has vacant orbitals and cyanide ions have unpaired electrons. Hence, in potassium ferrocyanide, the bond between iron and cyanide ions is dative bond.

Phosphorus forms a compound with hydrogen called phosphine, $PH _{3}$. This compound can react
with a hydrogen ion, $H^{+}$.
Which type of interaction occurs between $PH _{3}$ and $H^{+}$?

  1. Dative covalent bond

  2. Dipole- dipole forces

  3. Hydrogen bond

  4. Ionic bond
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

The bond formed between $P{H} _{3}$ and ${H}^{+}$ is dative covalent bond in which the bonding electrons are coming from phosphine.
