Q2.In the gas phase water is a bent molecule with a bond angle of
Answer : Option BExplaination / Solution:
Because the two non-bonding pairs remain closer to the oxygen atom, these exert a stronger repulsion against the two covalent bonding pairs, effectively pushing the two hydrogen atoms closer together. The result is a distorted tetrahedral arrangement in which the H—O—H angle is 104.5°
Q5.An electrochemical method is to provide a sacrificial electrode of another metal (like Mg, Zn, etc.) which corrodes itself but saves the object. A typical example is
Answer : Option CExplaination / Solution:
Galvanization is a process in which iron is coated with reactive metal like Zn which get corroded hence preventing iron from corrosion.
Q6.The shift in electron density is symbolised by crossed arrow in the below diagram. It depicts
Answer : Option BExplaination / Solution:
The cross base arrow demonstrates the net dipole. On the cross-base arrow, the cross represents the positive charge and the arrow represents the negative charge.
Q9.The alkali metals dissolve in liquid ammonia giving deep blue solutions. When they become diamagnetic, the solution turns into
Answer : Option CExplaination / Solution:
When the solution become diamagnetic due to formation of electron cluster in which ammoniated electron with opposite spin group- it changes its color to bronze.
