Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) A-IV, B-I, C-III, D-II
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
(B) A-IV, B-I, C-III, D-II
For \(C _2 H _4\) (Ethene), the structure is \(H _2 C = CH _2\). It contains \(4 C - H\) single bonds and \(1 C = C\) double bond. A single bond is a \(\sigma\) bond, and a double bond consists of \(1 \sigma\) and \(1 \pi\) bond. Total bonds: \(5 \sigma\) bonds and \(1 \pi\) bond. Thus, A matches IV.
For \(C _2 H _2\) (Ethyne), the structure is \(HC \equiv CH\). It contains \(2 C - H\) single bonds and \(1 C \equiv C\) triple bond. A triple bond consists of \(1 \sigma\) and \(2 \pi\) bonds. Total bonds: \(3 \sigma\) bonds and \(2 \pi\) bonds. Thus, B matches I.
For \(CH _4\) (Methane), the central carbon atom is bonded to 4 hydrogen atoms via single bonds. Total bonds: \(4 \sigma\) bonds. Thus, C matches III.
For \(NH _3\) (Ammonia), the central nitrogen atom is bonded to 3 hydrogen atoms via single bonds and has 1 lone pair of electrons. Total bonds: \(3 \sigma\) bonds and one lone pair. Thus, D matches II.
The correct matching is A-IV, B-I, C-III, D-II.
