van der waals force
dative bond
ionic bond
a covalent bond
Correct answer is D
Hydrogen bond is a covalent intermolecular bond that exists between hydrogen and highly electronegative elements like nitrogen, oxygen and fluorine.
The oxidation state(s) of nitrogen in ammonium nitrite is/are
-3, +3
+5
-3, +5
-3
Correct answer is A
Ammonium nitrite = NH\(_4\)NO\(_2\)
NH\(_4 ^+\): Let the oxidation number of Nitrogen = x
x + 4 = 1 \(\implies\) x = 1 - 4
x = -3
NO\(_2 ^-\): x - 4 = -1
x = -1 + 4 \(\implies\) x = +3.
The oxidation numbers for Nitrogen in Ammonium Nitrite = -3, +3.
Which quantum divides shells into orbitals?
Spin
Principal
Azimuthal
Magnetic
Correct answer is C
The azimuthal quantum number determines an atom's orbital angular momentum and the shape of the orbital. The principal quantum number determines its number of shells. Magnetic quantum number determines how many orbitals there are as well as their orientation within a subshell.
The shapes of water, ammonia, carbon (iv) oxide and methane are respectively
linear, tetrahedral, angular and pyramidal
angular, pyramidal, linear and tetrahedral
pyramidal, linear, tetrahedral and angular
tetrahedral, angular, pyramidal and linear
Correct answer is B
Ammonia \((NH_3\)) has a trigonal pyramidal structure with a bond angle of approximately 107 degrees. Methane (\(CH_4\)) has a tetrahedral structure with a bond angle of 109.5 degrees. Carbon dioxide is a linear molecule, with a 180-degree bond angle. Water \((H_2O\)) has a bent or V-shaped structure with a bond angle of approximately 104.5 degrees.
