33) Which one of the following compounds shows the presence of an
intramolecular hydrogen bond?
a. Cellulose
b. Concentrated acetic acid
c. H 2 O2
d. HCN
Ans .a
Intramolecular hydrogen bonding takes place within the same molecule i.e.,
between the atoms of the same molecule. Since, cellulose is a complex structure
containing oxygen and hydrogen, the bonding occurs between them easily.
Whereas, in HCN, H₂O, and concentrated acetic acid inter. molecular hydrogen
bonding occurs.
34) In X −H−−−Y , X and Y both are electronegative elements:
a. Electron density on X will increase and on H will decrease
b. In both electron density will increase
c. In both electron density will decrease
d. On X electron density will decrease and on H increases
Ans a) ' H ' is directly bonded to ' X ' and there is a hydrogen bond between ' H '
and ' Y '. As ' X ' and " Y ' are electronegative elements therefore, they will pull
electron density towards themselves. As ' X ' is directly bonded, it pulls more
electron density. So electron density on X increases, and on ' H ' electron density
decreases.
35) Which one shows maximum hydrogen bonding?
a. H 2 O
b. H 2 Se

d. HF
c) H−F shows the trongest H -bonds because fluorine is the most

H 2 O shows maximum H -bonding because each H 2 O molecule is linked to four
H 2 O molecules through H -bonds.

43) In BrF3, molecule, the lone pairs occupy equatorial positions to minimize:
a. Bond pair-bond pair repulsion only
b. Lone pair-lone pair repulsion and lone pair-bond pair repulsion
c. Lone pair-lone pair repulsion only
d. Lone pair-bond pair repulsion only
Ans.c
(c) BrF, has sp'd hybridisation because there are three bonding Br-F pairs and
two lone pairs on Br, and it adopts trigonal bipyramidal geometry. In this
geometry, lone pairs are always kept at equatorial positions because of
minimum repulsion. Having both the lone pair at the axial positions will create
6 lone pair-bond pair repulsions. Having one of the lone pairs at the axial
position will create one lone pair- lone pair repulsion and three lone pair-bond
pair repulsions. But the lone pair at the equatorial position will have only four
lone pair-bond pair repulsions and hence minimizes both types of repulsion, i.e.
repulsion. Ip- -Ip repulsion and bp- -Ip

b. NH4+
c. PCI3
d. SCl2
(b) Bond angle is maximum in NH4+, tetrahedral molecule with bond angle 109°
47)BCI3 is a planar molecule whereas NCI3 is pyramidal because:
a. Nitrogen atom is smaller than boron atom
b. BC13 has no lone pair but NCI3 has a lone pair of electrons
c. B-Cl bond is more polar than N-Cl bond
d. N-Cl bond is more covalent than B-Cl bond
Ans.b
There is no lone pair on boron in BCI, hence, no repulsion takes place. There is
a lone pair on nitrogen in NCI, hence, repulsion takes place. Therefore, BCI, is a
planar molecule but NC1, is a pyramidal molecule.
48)Which structure is linear ?
a)SO2
b)CO2
c)CO32-
d)SO42-
Ans.b

hybridised), SO2 is an angular molecule with sp² hybridisation SO 4 2- is
tetrahedral (sp3-hybridised)
