Given the correct order of initials T or F for following statements. Use T if statements is true and F if it is false : (I) (CH3)2P(CF3)3 is non-polar and (CH3)3P(CF3)2 is polar molecule (II) CH3PCH3

Question

Given the correct order of initials T or F for following statements. Use T if statements is true and F if it is false : (I) (CH3)2P(CF3)3 is non-polar and (CH3)3P(CF3)2 is polar molecule (II) CH3PCH3 bond angles are equal in (CH3)3P(CF3)2 molecule (III) PF3 will be more soluble in polar solvent than SiF4

Correct answer: D. Step 1: Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) is an odd-electron bent molecule. Step 2: The central Nitrogen atom forms two sigma bonds and holds a single odd electron in a hybridized orbital. The total steric number is 3 (2 sigma bonds + 1 odd-electron domain). Step 3: A steric number of 3 corresponds to sp2 hybridization of the Nitrogen atom, which is option (b).
