COMEDK · Chemistry · 4. Chemical Bonding and Molecular Structure
The number of bond pairs and lone pairs of electrons in the molecule \(\text{IF}_5\) is:
- A \(6, 0\)
- B \(4, 1\)
- C \(4, 2\)
- D \(5, 1\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) \(5, 1\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The central atom in \(\text{IF}_5\) is Iodine (I). Number of valence electrons in Iodine = \(7\). Number of Fluorine atoms bonded to Iodine = \(5\). Each Fluorine atom forms a single bond with Iodine, so the number of bond pairs = \(5\). Number of valence electrons used in…

Assertion: The Eclipsed and the Staggered conformations of Ethane continuously flip from one form to the other.
Reason: The torsional barrier between the Conformers of Ethane has a high value of about \(50 \mathrm{~kJ} / \mathrm{mol}\) and this restricts free rotation around \(\mathrm{C}-\mathrm{C}\) bond.COMEDK 2024 Medium
