MCQ
Which of the following statements are correct?
$a.$ All the three $N—O$ bond lengths in $\mathrm{HNO}_3$ are equal.
$b.$ All $P—Cl$ bond lengths in $\ce{PCl_5}$ molecule in gaseous state are equal.
$c. P_4$ molecule in white phohsphorus have angular strain therefore white phosphorus is very reactive.
$d. \text{PCl}$ is ionic in solid state in which cation is tetrahedral and anion is octahedral.
  • A
    $a$ and $b$
  • B
    $b$ and $c$
  • C
    $a$ and $c$
  • $c$ and $d$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$c$ and $d$
  1. All the three $N – O$ bond lengths in $\mathrm{HNO}_3$ are not equal.
  2. All $\text{P – Cl}$ bond lengths in $\mathrm{PCl}_5$ molecule in gaseous state are not equal. Axial bond is longer than equatorial bond.
  3. $P_4$ molecule in white phosphorus have angular strain therefore white phosphorus is very reactive.
  4. $\mathrm{PCl}_5$ is ionic in solid state in which cation is tetrahedral and anion is octahedral.
Cation $- \left[\mathrm{PCl}_4\right]^{+}$
Anion $- \left[\mathrm{PCl}_6\right]^{-}$
