(C) NH3 > NH4+ > NH2¯ (D) NH3 < NH4+ < NH2¯

Paragraph for question nos. 102 & 103

All species tend to attain or adopt the electronic geometryin which overall repulsion is minimum. If all the
sites (positions) are equivalent (e.g. octahedral), lone pairs prefer to be trans (anti) to each other, else
lone pairs choose the largest site (e.g. equilateral position in trigonal bipyramidal). In trigonal bipyramidal
geometry, axial position (a) is more crowded than equatorial position (e) which results in elongation of
axial bond as compared to equatoraial bond, thereby increasing the axial bond length. This holds valid if
the substituents are same. Also bonding pairs to more electronegative substituents occupy less space
than those to more electropositive or less electronegative substituents. Double bond occupy more space
than single bond.

 Paragraph for question nos. 104 & 105
The more ionic character (i.e. poorer covalency) in a bond (due to the more electronegative substituent
to the central atom) leads to the utilisation of hybrid orbitals containing more pweharacter (i.e.less
s-character) of the central atom. In other words, the multiple bond encourages the central atom to utilise
its hybrid orbitals which contain more sweharacter.
The percentage of s- or p-character between two adjacent and equivalent hybrid orbitals can determined
from the knowledge of the corresponding bond angle (T) as follows:

(A) 65.5 (B) 34.5 (C) 50.5 (D) 82.2

Paragraph for question nos. 106 to 108

Polar covalent molecules exhibit dipole moment. Dipole moment is equal to the product of charge
separation, q and the bond length d for the bond. Unit of dipole moment is Debye. One Debye is equal
to 10–18 esu cm.
Dipole moment is a vector quantity. It has both magnitude and direction. Hence, dipole moment of a
molecule depends upon the relative orientation of the bond dipoles, but not on the polarity of bonds
alone. A symmetrical structure shows zero dipole moment. Thus, dipole moment helps to predict the
geometryof a molecules. Dipole moment values can be used to distinguish between cis- and trans-isomers;
ortho-, meta- and para-forms of a substance, etc.

Paragraph for question nos. 109 to 111

atoms and the number of electrons assigned to that atom in a Lewis structure.
