Consider the following covalent compounds in their solid state and find the value of expression (X + Y + Z).
N2O5, Cl2O6, PCl5, I2Cl6, XeF6, PBr5
Where X = Total number of compounds in which central atom of cationic or anionic part is sp3 hybridized
Y = Total number of compounds having 90° bond angle either in cationic or anionic part.
Z = Total number of compounds having 109°28' bond angle either in cationic or anionic part.

Correct answer: 9 / SOLID STATES: N2O5 = [NO2]+[NO3]-, CL2O6 = [CLO2]+[CLO4]-, PCL5 = [PCL4]+[PCL6]-, I2CL6 = [ICL2]+[ICL4]-, XEF6 = [XEF5]+F-, PBR5 = [PBR4]+BR-. X = 1+1+1+1 = 4; Y = 1+1 = 2; Z = 1+1+1 = 3. X+Y+Z = 4+2+3 = 9. Step 1: Organosilicon polymers are synthetic polymers containing silicon-carbon bonds and alternating silicon-oxygen backbones. Step 2: Silicones (polyorganosiloxanes) have the general repeating formula (R2SiO)_n, where R represents an organic group (like methyl) attached to silicon. Step 3: Thus, silicone is an organosilicon polymer, corresponding to option (b).
