MCQ
Which of the following is not a correct statement?
  • A
    Multiple bonds are always shorter than corresponding single bonds.
  • B
    The electron-deficient molecules can act as ewis acids.
  • C
    The canonical structures have no real existence.
  • Every $AB_5$ molecule does in fact have square pyramid structure.

Answer

Correct option: D.
Every $AB_5$ molecule does in fact have square pyramid structure.
d
Generally, $A B_{5}$ molecules have trigonal bipyramidal structure due to $s p^{3} d$ hybridisation but in some cases due to presence of lone pair of electrons, its geometry becomes distorted.
