The driving force of an atom to form chemical bonds involves:
1. To increase the size.
2. To decrease size.
3. To attain stability.
4. None of the above.

The favourable factors for the formation of an ionic bond would be:
1. | Low ionization enthalpy, High negative electron gain enthalpy, High lattice energy. |
2. | High ionization enthalpy, High electron gain enthalpy, High lattice energy. |
3. | Low ionization enthalpy, Low electron gain enthalpy, Low lattice energy. |
4. | High ionization enthalpy, Low electron gain enthalpy, High lattice energy. |
The correct relationship between bond strength and bond order is :
1. | Bond strength is directly proportional to the bond order. |
2. | Bond strength is inversely proportional to the bond order. |
3. | There is no relationship between these two terms. |
4. | None of the above. |
The bond length can be defined as -
1. | The equilibrium distance between the nuclei of two bonded atoms in a molecule. |
2. | The farthest distance between the nuclei of two bonded atoms in a molecule. |
3. | The shortest distance between the nuclei of two bonded atoms in a molecule. |
4. | None of the above. |
can be represented by structures 1 and 2 shown below.
These two structures cannot be taken as the canonical forms of the resonance hybrid, because :
1. | The positions of the atoms have changed.
|
2. | The positions of the atoms are constant.
|
3. | H3PO3 does not show resonance.
|
4. | Two hydrogen atoms are missing. |
The shape of molecule is bent while that of is linear. The correct explanation is:
1. | The dipole moment of carbon dioxide is 3.84 D and water is zero. |
2. | The dipole moment of water is zero and carbon dioxide is 1.84 D. |
3. | The dipole moment of carbon dioxide is zero and water is 1.84 D. |
4. | The dipole moment of carbon dioxide is 3.84 D and water is 1.84 D. |
The application of dipole moment is/are :
1. | It is used to differentiate polar and non-polar bonds. |
2. | It is helpful in calculating the percentage ionic character of a molecule. |
3. | Both '1' and '2' |
4. | None of the above. |
The difference between electronegativity and electron gain enthalpy is:
1. | An element has a constant value of the electron gain enthalpy but not of electronegativity. |
2. | There is no difference between these two terms. |
3. | An element has a constant value of electronegativity but not of electron gain enthalpy. |
4. | None of the above. |
