Explanation / Answer

12) OPTION C

IBr2-, I has 7 valence electrons , two used for two bonds , one gained from negtive charge, leaving 6 non bonded electrons, making 3 lone pairs.

13) Option D

in Ibr2- the formal charge on I is -1

FC = valence electrons - bonded electrons -non bonded electrons

= 7 -2 -6 = -1 for I in Ibr2-

14) OPtion A

CH4 molecule is TETRAHEDRAL with sp3 hybridization (4 bonded e pairs)

15) option C

PCl3 is trigonal pyramidal with P , sp3 hybridisation and one lone pair of electrons.

16) option D

ICl3 is T-shaped as I has 3 bond pairs and 2 lone pairs (sp3dhybridization)

17) option E

SF6 is Octahedral with 6 bond pairs (sp3d2 hybridization)

18) option A

formal charge on N = 5 -4 = +1

19) option C

Each bond comprises of 2 electrons.

20) option B

the element with 6 valence electrons is Oxygen.

21) option D

N-F bond is most polar (4-2.1)

22) Option A

C-H bond is most non-polar (2.5 -2.1)
