Sample questions

1. Which type of bond involves the sharing of electrons between atoms?

   1. Ionic bond
   2. Covalent bond
   3. Metallic bond
   4. Hydrogen bond
   Show answer

   Answer: B. Covalent bond

   A covalent bond is formed by the sharing of electrons between atoms, typically nonmetals.

2. What is the bond order in oxygen molecule (O2)?

   1. 1
   2. 2
   3. 3
   4. 0
   Show answer

   Answer: B. 2

   The bond order is calculated as (number of bonding electrons - number of antibonding electrons)/2. In O2, it's 2.

3. What is the geometry of a molecule with sp2 hybridization?

   1. Linear
   2. Tetrahedral
   3. Trigonal planar
   4. Bent
   Show answer

   Answer: C. Trigonal planar

   sp2 hybridized molecules have a trigonal planar geometry with bond angles of approximately 120 degrees.

4. Predict the shape of a molecule with AX3E2 (3 bonding pairs and 2 lone pairs) using VSEPR theory.

   1. Linear
   2. Tetrahedral
   3. Trigonal bipyramidal
   4. T-shaped
   Show answer

   Answer: D. T-shaped

   According to VSEPR theory, AX3E2 molecules have a T-shaped geometry due to the repulsion between the lone pairs.

5. Describe the different types of molecular solids and their properties.

   1. Molecular solids are classified into covalent, ionic, and metallic.
   2. Molecular solids are classified based on the type of intermolecular forces (van der Waals, dipole-dipole, hydrogen bonding) present.
   3. Molecular solids are always crystalline in nature.
   4. Molecular solids are always amorphous in nature.
   Show answer

   Answer: B. Molecular solids are classified based on the type of intermolecular forces (van der Waals, dipole-dipole, hydrogen bonding) present.

   Molecular solids are held together by weaker intermolecular forces, which determine their properties like melting point and solubility.
