The geometry of ammonia molecule can be best described as:

Nitrogen at one vertex of a regular tetrahedron, the other three vertices being occupied by three hydrogens

Nitrogen at the centre of the tetrahedron, three vertics being occupied by three hydrogens

Nitrogen at the centre of an equilateral triangle, three corners being occupied by three hydrogens

Nitrogen at the junction of a T, three open ends being occupied by three hydrogens

Explanation

(b) In $\overset{. .}{N} H_{3}$ central atom is nitrogen which is $s p^{3}$ hybrdized hence, it will be at the centre of tetrahedron with H-atom at three vertices.

Give the correct order of initials T and F for following statements. use T if statement is true and F if it is false :

(a) The order of repulsion betweeen different pair of electrons is $l_{p} - l_{p} > l_{p} - b_{p} > b_{p} - b_{p}$

(b) In general , as the number of lone pair of electrons on central atom increases, value of bond angle from normal bond angle also increases

(d) The structure of xeon fluorides and xenon oxyfluorides could not be explained on the basis of VSEPR

Explanation

(b) (ii) (F) In general as the number of lone pair electrons on central atom increases , value of bond angle from normal bond angle decreases due to $l_{p} - l_{p} > l_{p} - b_{p}$

(iv) (F) Structures of xeon fluorides and xeon oxyfluride are explained on the basis VSEPR theory.

In SO $B r_{2,}$ S-O bond has maximum bond length in comparison to S-O bond lengths in $S O F_{2}$ and $S O C l_{2},$ because in $S O B r_{2}$ , S-O bond has been formed by hybrid orbital containing less s- character .

Incorrect statement is:

$A l F_{3} > M g O > M g F_{2}$ : Lattice energy

$L i > N a > A l > M g$ : Electon affinity

$S F_{6} > P F_{5} > S i F_{4}$ : Lewis acidic character

$S I C I_{4} > S i B r_{4} > S i l_{4}$ : Decreasing ionic character

Explanation

(c) Correct order of lewis acidic character: $P F_{5} > S i F_{4} > S F_{6}$ Although, S has vaccant 3d-orbitals but it cannot accept co-ordinate bond from Lewis base due to steric crowding factor as S-atom is already bonded to six F-atoms.
