A.
120° and 90°
bond angles in PCl5 molecule are 120° and 90°. PCl5, having sp3d hybridised P atom (trigonal bipyramidal geometry) has two types of bonds; axial and equatorial. These two types of bond have different bond lengths 1, 2, 3- equatorial bonds and 4, 5 axial bonds
AgCl dissolves in a solution of NH3 but not in water because :
NH3 is a better solvent than H2O
Ag+ forms a complex ion with NH3
NH3 is a stronger base than H2O
the dipole moment of water is higher than NH3
What is the product formed when acetylene reacts with hypochlorous acid ?
CH3COCl
ClCH2CHO
Cl2CHCHO
ClCH2COOH
As the number of -OH groups increases in hypophosphorus acid, phosphorus acid and phosphoric acid, the acidic strength
increases
decreases
remains nearly same
remains appropriately same
The comparatively high b.pt. of HF is due to
high reactivity of fluorine
small size of hydrogen atom
formation of hydrogen bonds and consequent association
high IE of fluorine
