Given below are two statements : In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

  1. Both Statement I and Statement II are true
  2. Statement I is true but Statement II is false
  3. Statement I is false but Statement II is true
  4. Both Statement I and Statement II are false

Answer

(3) Statement I is false but Statement II is true

Solution

Statement I:

SF4, SeF4: 4 bp + 1 lp see-saw

NH4+: 4 bp tetrahedral ✓

[NiCl4]2-: sp3 tetrahedral ✓

XeF4: 4 bp + 2 lp square planar

[PtCl4]2-, [Ni(CN)4]2-: dsp2 square planar

Number of tetrahedral species = 2, not 3. Statement I is false.

Statement II: electrons around the central atom:

NO2: N has 7 (odd-electron molecule), BeH2: Be has 4, BF3: B has 6, AlCl3: Al has 6

the octet is incomplete in all of them. Statement II is true.

Answer: (3)
