Consider the following statement

(A) NF3 molecules has a trigonal planar structure.

(B) Bond Length of N2 is shorter than O2.

(C) Isoelectronic molecules or ions have identical bond order.

(D) Dipole moment of H2S is higher than that of water molecule.

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

  1. A and B are correct
  2. A and D are correct
  3. C and D are correct
  4. B and C are correct

Solution

In NF3, nitrogen is having three bond pairs and a lone pair, hence, it has pyramidal shape.

The bond order of N2=3, and The bond order of O2=2. Bond length is inversely related to bond order. Hence, bond length of N2 is shorter than O2

Isoelectronic species have identical bond order

 

Dipole moment of H2O is more than that of H2S due to higher electronegativity of O.
