A Correct answer
Explanation
${ N } _{ 2 }$ molecule contains $2$ lone pairs and $1s$ and $2p$ bonds.
$:N\equiv N:$
A triple bond consist of $1$ sigma and two $pi$ bonds. Lone pair refers to a pair of valence electrons that are not shared with another atom, it is also called non-bonding pair.

Select the correct statement (s) about the compound $NO[BF _4]$

  1. It has 5$\sigma$ and 2$\pi$ bond
  2. Nitrogen - oxygen bond length is higher than nitric oxide $(NO)$
  3. It is a diamagnetic species

  4. $BF$ bond length in this compound is lower than in $BF _3$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A,C Correct answer
Explanation

$NO[BF _4]$ can be separated into $NO^+$ and $BF _4^-$. 
$BF _4^-$ has $4$  bonds, as single bonds between $B$ and $F$.
$NO^+$ has $1$  bonds, $2$ bonds.
It is a diamagnetic species.

In the cyclo-$S _8$ molecule of rhombic sulphur, all the $S-S$ bond lengths and all the $S-S-S$ bond angles are respectively (give approximate values): 

  1. $204$ pm and $105^{\circ}$
  2. $102$ pm and $120^{\circ}$
  3. $204$ pm and $180^{\circ}$
  4. $102$ pm and $60^{\circ}$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

There is a single bond between each pair of $S$ atoms and two non-bonding electron pairs on each $S$ atom.Thus we see four electron domains around each $S$ atom and we would expect a tetrahedral geometry corresponding to $sp^3$ hybridisation which gives us the bond angle around $109^0$.

The number of sigma and pi bonds in the structure:
$CH _2\, =\, CH\, -\, C\, \equiv\, CH$

  1. 7 and 3

  2. 6 and 2

  3. 4 and 3

  4. All are sigma bonds

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

In $H _{2}C = CH-C\equiv CH$, there are $4: C-H$ sigma bonds and $3: C-C$ sigma bonds, thus it has a total of $7 \sigma$ bonds. Also there are $3 \pi$ bonds in the structure.

The number of $\sigma$ bonds and $\pi$-bonds present in $\text{pent-4-en-1-yne}$ is:

  1. $10,3$
  2. $4,9$
  3. $3,10$
  4. $9,4$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

$HC\equiv C-{CH} _{2}-CH={CH} _{2}$


$\text{Pent-4-en-1-yne}$

Triple bond between $C$ and $C$ contains one $\sigma$ bond and two $\pi$ bonds. Double bond between $C$ and $C$ contains one $\sigma$ bond and one $\pi$ bond.

Total $\sigma$ bonds$=10$

Total $\pi$ bonds $=3$

Hence, the correct option is $\text{A}$

Identify the correct order of bond strengths?

  1. $\sigma _{p-p}>\pi _{p-p}>\sigma _{s-s}$
  2. $\sigma _{p-p}>\sigma _{s-s}>\pi _{p-p}$
  3. $\sigma _{s-s}>\sigma _{p-p}>\pi _{p-p}$
  4. $\pi _{p-s}>\sigma _{s-s}>\sigma _{p-p}$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

The correct order of bond strengths is $\displaystyle \sigma _{s-s}>\sigma _{p-p}>\pi _{p-p}$
The extent of overlap is higher for s orbital than for  p orbital. Higher is the extent of overlap, stronger is the bond formed.
Also, $\displaystyle \sigma$ bond is stronger than $\displaystyle \pi$ bond.
