(4) Dimerisation of acetic acid in benzene
Sol. Answer (1, 2, 4)

In ice water molecules are excessively H-bonded giving a cage-like structure which is lighter than water.
Primary amines are more basic than tertiary amines in aqueous solution mainly due to H-bonding with water
molecules. Dimerisation of acetic acid in benzene is due to intermolecular H-bonding.

Linked Comprehension Type Questions
Comprehension-I
In molecular orbital theory (MOT), the atoms in a molecule are supposed to loose their individual control over the
electrons. The nuclei of the bonded atoms are considered to be present at equilibrium in inter-nuclear positions.
The orbitals where the probability of finding electrons is maximum are multicentred orbitals called molecular orbitals
extending over 2 or more nuclei when a pair of atomic orbitals combine and give rise to a pair of molecular orbitals
bonding and antibonding molecular orbital. Electron density is increased for bonding MO's in internuclear region
but decreased for antibonding MO's. Shielding of the nuclei by increased electron density in bonding MO's reduces
inter nuclear repulsion & thus stabilizes the molecule whereas lower electron density in antibonding MO's increases
the repulsion and destabilises the system.

Comprehension-II
Properties of most ionic solids deviate from ideal ionic character because lattice may undergo some distortion.
Cations are usually smaller than anions and have higher effective nuclear charge than the latter. The outer electron
cloud in a cation is more firmly held than in an anion. Loose electron cloud of anion when attracted by electron
cloud of cation gets distorted. This phenomenon is known as polarisation. Due to this polarisation, electron cloud
of anion shifts towards cation which decreases magnitude of '+ve' charge on cation & 've' charge on anion. In other
words, covalent character develops in ionic bond.
1. Which of the following is an ionic compound?
(1) AlF3 (2) AlCl3 (3) AlBr3 (4) AlI3
Sol. Answer (1)
Cations are same, hence, smaller the size of anion, lesser is polarization and greater will be ionic character.
2. Which of the following alkali metal carbonate decompose on heating?
(1) Li2CO3 (2) Na2CO3 (3) K2CO3 (4) Rb2CO3
Sol. Answer (1)
Li2CO3 has smaller cation hence more covalent character hence decompose on heating.
3. Amongst LiCl, RbCl, BeCl2 and MgCl2 the compounds with greatest and least ionic character respectively are

LiCl BeCl2
RbCl MgCl2
Anions are same hence greatest ionic character is possessed by species having largest cation and least ionic
character will be possessed by species containing smallest cation.
