In a regular octahedral molecule, MX6, the number of X - M - X bonds at 180 is

  1. three
  2. two
  3. six
  4. four

Answer

(1) three

Solution

In a regular octahedron the six X atoms lie along x, y and z axes around M.

⇒ Each X has exactly one X trans to it (at 180 ); the other four are at 90 .

⇒ Trans pairs: along x, along y and along z.

∴ Number of X - M - X angles of 180 = 62 = 3

Answer: (1)

H2O is dipolar, whereas BeF2 is not. It is because

  1. the electronegativity of F is greater than that of O
  2. H2O involves hydrogen bonding whereas BeF2 is a discrete molecule
  3. H2O is linear and BeF2 is angular
  4. H2O is angular and BeF2 is linear.

Which one of the following statements is not correct for sigma- and pi- bonds formed between two carbon atoms?

  1. sigma-bond is stronger than a pi-bond.
  2. Bond energies of sigma- and pi-bonds are of the order of 264 kJ/mol and 347 kJ/mol, respectively
  3. Free rotation of atoms about a sigma-bond is allowed but not in case of a pi-bond.
  4. Sigma-bond determines the direction between carbon atoms but a pi-bond has no primary effect in this regard.
