increases the energy of the g(2p) orbital to a higher level than the  orbitals. As a result, the last two
electrons are unpaired in the degenerate (having the same energy)  orbitals, and the molecule is
paramagnetic.
In N2 the g(2s) and g(2p) levels of N2 interact (mix) less than the B2 and C2 levels, and the g (2p) and

58. Fluorine is more electronegative but dipole moment is the product of charge and distance between
combining atoms (covalently bonded) ; due to more charge separation in CH3Cl, it has higher dipole
moment.
59. (A) As + charge on central atom increases, the attraction between + and – increases and thus Xe–F
bond length decreases. The correct order is XeF2 > XeF4 > XeF6
(B) PH5 can not undergo sp3d hybridisation as there is much large difference in size of s, p and d
orbitals. PH5 does not exist as no partial positive charge develops on P atom.
(C) Dipole moment of CH3Cl is greater than CH3F due to greater charge sepration on carbon and
chlorine atoms in CH3Cl.
(D) it is a correct order.
The strength of hydrogen bond depends upon :
(i) size (ii) electronegativity and (iii) ease of donation of electron pair by electronegative element.
Higher the value of electronegativity and smaller the size of the covalently bonded atom to H atom

To obtain effective p–d overlap the size of the d orbital must be similar to size of the p orbital. Hence

So, dipole moment of trimethylamine is greater than trimethy phosphine.

In trisilyl ether the lone pair of electron on oxygen atom is less easily available for donation because of
p-d delocalisation due to presence of the vacant d-orbital with Si. This however is not possible with
carbon in CH3–O–CH3 due to the absence of d-orbital making it more basic.

100. Group1 elements have lesser strength of metallic bonding than corresponding group 2 elements due to
only one electron per atom participating in metallic bonding in group 1. In group 2 elements, two
electrons per metal atom participate in metallic bonding.
101. (A) due to decreasing strength of metallic bond.
(B) Fact
(C) Elements having half-filled stable configurations have lesser strength of metallic bonding.
(D) Electron delocalisation is the main reason for electricity conduction is both.
102. (A) It results from the electrical attractions among positively charged metal ions and mobile, delocalised
electrons belonging to the crystal as a whole.
(B) In general, greater the number of (n–1)d and ns electrons, stronger is the resultant bonding.
(C) Strength of metallic bond depend on the type of hybrid orbitals participating in metallic bonding.
(D) As the size of atom increases the attraction between the positive part of the atom and delocalised
electrons decreases and thus the strength of the metallic bond decreases.

105. BC3 = PCl3
BC5 = PCl5
