Real questions that test this

NH₃ आणि BF₃ च्या आकारांबद्दल खालीलपैकी कोणता पर्याय अचूक आहे ? Which of the following is correct for the shapes of NH₃ and BF₃ ?

a)NH₃ - पिरॅमिडल आणि BF₃ - पिरॅमिडल / NH₃ - Pyramidal and BF₃ - Pyramidal
b)NH₃ - प्लेनर आणि BF₃ - प्लेनर / NH₃ - Planar and BF₃ - Planar
c)NH₃ - प्लेनर आणि BF₃ - पिरॅमिडल / NH₃ - Planar and BF₃ - Pyramidal
d)NH₃ - पिरॅमिडल आणि BF₃ - प्लेनर / NH₃ - Pyramidal and BF₃ - Planar✓ Correct

NH3 has 3 bond pairs and 1 lone pair, resulting in a pyramidal shape due to sp3 hybridization and lone pair-bond pair repulsion. BF3 has 3 bond pairs and no lone pairs, resulting in a trigonal planar shape due to sp2 hybridization.

खालील दिलेल्या विधानापैकी कोणती विधाने बरोबर आहेत ? Which of the following statements are correct?

(a)HF आणि H₂O ही ध्रुवीय संयुगे आहेत. / HF and H₂O are polar molecules.

(b)CH₄ आणि CO₂ ही ध्रुवीय संयुगे नाहीत. / CH₄ and CO₂ are non-polar molecules.

(c)CO₂ आणि SO₂ ही ध्रुवीय संयुगे नाहीत. / CO₂ and SO₂ are non-polar molecules.

1)अ आणि ब / a and b✓ Correct
2)ब आणि क / b and c
3)अ आणि क / a and c
4)अ, ब आणि क / a, b and c

HF and H2O are polar molecules due to significant electronegativity difference and bent/asymmetrical geometry. CH4 and CO2 are non-polar due to symmetrical geometry cancelling dipoles.
