Section D: Answer the following Questions 

Q1: Give the main features of VSEPR Theory.

Worksheet with Solutions: Chemical Bonding and Molecular Structure | Chemistry Class 11 - NEETView Answer  Worksheet with Solutions: Chemical Bonding and Molecular Structure | Chemistry Class 11 - NEET

Ans: The main postulates of VSEPR theory can be explained as follows: 

1. The shape of any molecule generally depends upon the number of valence shell electron pairs around the central atom. 

2. Pairs of electrons in the valence shell repel each other, that’s why their electron clouds are negatively charged. 

3. The pairs of electrons tend to occupy that position in space which minimize repulsion and maximize the distance between them. 

4. The valence shell is considered as a sphere with the electron pairs localizing on the sphere at maximum distance from one another. 

5. A multiple bond is treated as a single electron pair and two or three electron pairs of a multiple bond is treated as a super pair. 

6. When two or more resonance structures can represent a molecule, the VSEPR nodal is applicable to any type of structure. 

Q2: What's the difference between lone pair and bonded pair of electrons?  

Worksheet with Solutions: Chemical Bonding and Molecular Structure | Chemistry Class 11 - NEETView Answer  Worksheet with Solutions: Chemical Bonding and Molecular Structure | Chemistry Class 11 - NEET

Ans:  The main difference between lone pair and bond pair is that lone pair electrons do not take part in bond formation whereas bond pair electrons take part in bond formation.

Q3: CO₂ is linear whereas SO₂ is bent-shaped. Give a reason.

Worksheet with Solutions: Chemical Bonding and Molecular Structure | Chemistry Class 11 - NEETView Answer  Worksheet with Solutions: Chemical Bonding and Molecular Structure | Chemistry Class 11 - NEET

SO₂ contains a bent shape as in the compound number of bonding pairs is 4 and it also contains one lone pair of electrons which does not participate in bond formation, due to which we can experience repulsive strain in the molecule. Shape of SO₂ can be shown as follows:Worksheet with Solutions: Chemical Bonding and Molecular Structure | Chemistry Class 11 - NEET

Q6. For the molecule, Why is structure (b) more stable than structure (a)?    Worksheet with Solutions: Chemical Bonding and Molecular Structure | Chemistry Class 11 - NEET

Worksheet with Solutions: Chemical Bonding and Molecular Structure | Chemistry Class 11 - NEETView Answer  Worksheet with Solutions: Chemical Bonding and Molecular Structure | Chemistry Class 11 - NEET

Ans: In the case of structure:

  • (a) The lone pair is present at the axial position, which suggests that there are three lp-lp repulsions at 90°.

  • Whereas in the case of (b), the lone pair is present at an equatorial position, and there are two lp-lp repulsions. This represents that structure (b) is more stable as compared to structure (a).

Q6. How would you attribute the structure of the PH₃ molecule using the VSEPR model?

Worksheet with Solutions: Chemical Bonding and Molecular Structure | Chemistry Class 11 - NEETView Answer  Worksheet with Solutions: Chemical Bonding and Molecular Structure | Chemistry Class 11 - NEET

Ans: The outermost shell of the phosphorus atom contains 5 electrons. In this case, H⁻ atoms contribute one electron with each to make a total of 8 electrons around the phosphorus atom. In this way, 4 pairs of electrons are distributed in a tetrahedral manner around the central atom. Out of which, three pairs form three P-H bonds, while the fourth pair remains unused. Due to repulsion between the bond pair of these three and the lone pair of the remaining one, the shape is not of tetrahedral nature but becomes trigonal pyramidal.

12. Why does NH₃ have a higher dipole moment than NF₃ though both are pyramidal?

Worksheet with Solutions: Chemical Bonding and Molecular Structure | Chemistry Class 11 - NEETView Answer  Worksheet with Solutions: Chemical Bonding and Molecular Structure | Chemistry Class 11 - NEET

AnsNH₃ has a higher dipole moment than NF₃ because in the case of NH₃, the orbital dipole due to the lone pair is in the same direction as the resultant dipole moment of the N-H bonds. On the other hand, in NF₃, the orbital dipole is in the direction opposite to the resultant dipole moment of the three N-F bonds. Hence, the orbital dipole becoming a lone pair decreases, resulting in a lower dipole moment for NF₃.Worksheet with Solutions: Chemical Bonding and Molecular Structure | Chemistry Class 11 - NEET

Q8. What is the ionic bond? With two suitable examples, explain the difference in between an ionic and the covalent bond?

Worksheet with Solutions: Chemical Bonding and Molecular Structure | Chemistry Class 11 - NEETView Answer  Worksheet with Solutions: Chemical Bonding and Molecular Structure | Chemistry Class 11 - NEET
Ans: When the positively charged ion forms a bond with a negatively charged ion, one atom transfers electrons to another. An example of the ionic bond is the chemical compound Sodium Chloride (NaCl).
The difference between an ionic bond and a covalent bond is that an ionic bond essentially donates the electron to the other atom participating in the bond. In contrast, electrons in a covalent bond are shared equally between the atoms.

Q9. Arrange the following of the bonds in order to increase the ionic character, giving a reason

N—H, F—H, C—H and O—H

Worksheet with Solutions: Chemical Bonding and Molecular Structure | Chemistry Class 11 - NEETView Answer  Worksheet with Solutions: Chemical Bonding and Molecular Structure | Chemistry Class 11 - NEET

Ans: The ionic character is greater in the molecules with the highest electronegativity difference because the electron pair shifts toward the more electronegative atom, increasing the ionic character.

Thus, the ionic character order will be:

C-H < N-H < O-H <  F-H

Q10. Group the following as linear as well as non-linear molecules :

H2O, HOCl, BeCl2, Cl2O

Worksheet with Solutions: Chemical Bonding and Molecular Structure | Chemistry Class 11 - NEETView Answer  Worksheet with Solutions: Chemical Bonding and Molecular Structure | Chemistry Class 11 - NEET

Ans: BeCl2 has a linear structure

HOCl is also non-linear in structure.

H2O has a V-shaped structure.

Cl2O has a V-shaped structure.

FAQs on Worksheet with Solutions: Chemical Bonding and Molecular Structure - Chemistry Class 11 - NEET

1. What are the main types of chemical bonds studied in chemical bonding?
Ans. The main types of chemical bonds are ionic bonds, covalent bonds, and metallic bonds. Ionic bonds occur when electrons are transferred from one atom to another, resulting in charged ions. Covalent bonds form when atoms share electrons, while metallic bonds involve a 'sea of electrons' that are free to move around in a lattice of metal cations.
2. How does the VSEPR theory help in predicting molecular shapes?
Ans. The Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion (VSEPR) theory suggests that the shape of a molecule is determined by the repulsion between electron pairs around the central atom. By minimizing these repulsions, the theory predicts the three-dimensional arrangement of the atoms in a molecule, leading to shapes like linear, trigonal planar, tetrahedral, and octahedral.
3. What is the significance of electronegativity in chemical bonding?
Ans. Electronegativity measures an atom's ability to attract and hold onto electrons in a bond. It plays a crucial role in determining the type of bond formed between atoms. A large difference in electronegativity between two atoms typically results in an ionic bond, while a smaller difference leads to covalent bonding. Understanding electronegativity helps predict molecular polarity and reactivity.
4. How can you differentiate between polar and nonpolar molecules?
Ans. Polar molecules have an uneven distribution of electron density, resulting in a dipole moment, while nonpolar molecules have a symmetrical distribution of charge. To determine polarity, one can assess the electronegativity differences between atoms and the molecular geometry. If the dipoles cancel out in a symmetrical shape, the molecule is nonpolar; otherwise, it is polar.
5. What is hybridization, and why is it important in understanding molecular structure?
Ans. Hybridization is the mixing of atomic orbitals to form new hybrid orbitals that are degenerate and suitable for bonding. It is important because it helps explain the geometry of molecular structures that cannot be described by simple atomic orbital theory. Understanding hybridization allows chemists to predict bond angles and molecular shapes, enhancing our comprehension of chemical reactivity and properties.
