18.
What is the type of hybridisation of carbon atoms marked with star?

1.
IF 5 The ground state and the excited state outer electronic configuration of iodine(Z = 53) are represented below

In IF 5 ,I is sp3 d2 hybridised therefore,shape of IF 5 is square pyramidal as it contains one lone pair of electrons

2.
\({ NO }_{ 2 }^{ + }\)and CO2 are sp hybridized, therefore, they have linear shape.

\({ { NO }_{ 2 }^{ - } }\) and O3 are sp2 hybridised.Both have lone pair of electrons but in former case it is not donated. Thus, their shape is angular.

3.

4.
The central atom Br has seven electrons in the valence shell. Five of these will form bonds with five fluorine atoms and the remaining two electrons are present as one lone pair. Hence, total pairs of electrons are six (5 bond pairs and 1 lone pair).
To minimize repulsion between lone pairs and bond pairs, the shape becomes square pyramidal.

5.
XeF4 = 4bp + 2lp (This is because Xe contains 8 valunce electrons) = square planar geometry.

6.
In NF3, N is surrounded by three F atoms and a lone pair thus, have lp-bp repulsion along with bp-bp repulsion.
Thus, its shape is pyramidal.
In BF3, B is surrounded by only three F atoms, i.e. have no lone pairs, so only repulsion present in it is bp - bp.
Thus, its shape is triangular planar.
7.
There is greater intermolecular hydrogen bonding in H2 O than that in HF as each H2 O molecule forms four H-bonds with water molecules,, whereas HF forms only H-bonds with other HF molecules. Greater the intermolecular H-bonding, greater is the viscosity. Hence, HF is less viscous than H2 O
8.
This is because of intermixing of 2s and 2pz orbitals because of their close proximity. Due to intermixing, \({ \sigma 2p }_{ z }\) molecular orbital becomes higher in energy than \({ \pi 2p }_{ x }\) and \({ { \pi 2p } }_{ y }\) molecular orbitals.
9.
This is due to greater repulsion on the axial bond pairs by the equatorial bond pairs of electrons.
10.
A covalent bond is formed by the overlap of half-filled atomic orbitals.
11.
Atomic orbitals with comparable energies and proper orientation overlap to form molecular orbitals
12.
AIF3 is an ionic compound whereas SiF4 is a non-polar covalent compound. Hence, interparticle forces in AIF3 are much stronger that's why it is a high melting solid.
13.

All the hybrid orbitals have same shape. However, their sizes are in the order : sp < sp2 < sp3

14.
Electronegativity of an element is the tendency of its atom to attract the shared pair of electrons towards itself in a covalent bond. Electron gain enthalpy of an element may be defined as the as the energy released when a neutral isolated gaseous atom accepts an extra electron to form the gaseous negative ion, i.e anion.
\(\underset { Neutral \ gaseous \ atom }{ X(g) } +{ e }^{ - }\longrightarrow \underset { Anion }{ { X }^{ - }(g) } ;\Delta H={ \Delta }_{ eg }H\)
Greater the amount of energy released in the above process, higher is the electron gain enthalpy of the element. Electronegativity differs from electron gain enthalpy because electronegativity is a property of an atom in the bonded state while electron gain enthalpy relates to atoms in their isolated gaseous states.

CuSO4.5H2O has ionic, covalent, coordinate and hydrogen bonds.
