orbitals. Number of atomic orbitals overlapping together is equal to the molecular
orbital formed. The two atomic orbital thus formed by LCAO (linear combination of
atomic orbital) in the same phase or in the different phase are known as bonding and
antibonding molecular orbitals respectively. The energy of bonding molecular orbital is
lower than that of the pure atomic orbital by an amount ∆ . This known as the
stabilization energy. The energy of antibonding molecular orbital is increased by ∆
(destabilization energy).

Q. No. 82 The high density of water compared to ice is due to:

Option 1 Hydrogen bonding interactions
Option 2 Dipole-dipole interactions
Option 3 Dipole-induced dipole interactions
Option 4 Induced dipole induced dipole interactions
Correct Answer 1
Explanation Each water molecule is tetrahedrally surrounded by 4 water molecules.

Q. No. 84 The boiling point of alcohol is higher than ether due to:
Option 1 Hydrogen bonding
Option 2 Large size of alcohol
Option 3 Presence of -OH group
Option 4 High molecular weight
Correct Answer 1
Explanation In alcohol H is directly attached to O therefore it exhibit hydrogen bonding due to
which its boiling point is higher than ether.

Q. No. 85 The correct order of boiling point is:

Option 1 I > II > III

Option 2 III > II > I
Option 3 II > I > III
Option 4 III > I > II
Correct Answer 2
Explanation

Due to intramolecular H-bonding it cannot from the polymeric chain, therefore its
boiling point is the least.

Cannot form the intramolecular H-bond therefore it forms the intermolecular H-bond
and boiling point is maximum.

Also forms the intermolecular H-bond but due to lesser molecular cut its b.pt is less
than
Q. No. 86 The boiling points at atmospheric pressure of HF, H2S, NH3 can be arranged in the
following order:
Option 1 HF > NH3 > H2 S
Option 2 HF > H2 S > NH3
Option 3 HF < H2 S < NH3
Option 4 HF < NH3 < H2 S
Correct Answer 1
Explanation H-F is exhibits the strongest intermolecular H-bonding therefore its boiling point is
maximum. NH3 also exhibit intermolecular H-bonding but weaken than HF. H2S exhibits
the weak dipole-dipole attraction.

Q. No. 87 Which statement is correct?

Option 1 m.p. of H2O, NH3, HF are maximum in their respective group due to intermolecular H-
bonding
Option 2 b.p. of CH4 out of CH4, SiH4, GeH4 and SnH4 is least due to weak intermolecular force of
attraction
Option 3 Formic acid forms dimer by H-bonding
Option 4 All are correct
Correct Answer 4
Explanation H2O, NH3, HF exhibit the intermolecular H-bonding therefore m.pt is maximum. B.pt of
CH4 is least because its molecular wt. is the least. Formic acid forms dimer by H-
bonding as H is directly attached to O.

Q. No. 88 Which of the following is not true about H2O molecule?

Option 1 The molecular has µ = 0
Option 2 The molecular can act as a base
Option 3 Shows abnormally high boiling point in comparison to the hydrides of other elements
of oxygen group
Option 4 The molecule has a bent shape.
Correct Answer 1
Explanation H2O is having distorted shape (bent shape) therefore its dipole moment is not zero. It
can act as a lewis base and shows abnormally high boiling point due to intermolecular
H-bonding.

Q. No. 89 Which of the following does not contain any co-ordinate bond?
Option 1 H3O+
Option 2 BF4-
Option 3 HF2-
Option 4 NH+4
Correct Answer 3
Explanation S+ S-
F- - - - - H - F
It does not contain any coordinate bond.

Q. No. 90 The boiling points of methanol, water and dimethyl ether are respectively 650C, 1000C
and 34.50C. Which of the following best explains these wide variations in b.p.?
Option 1 The molecular mass increases from water (18) to methanol (32) to diethyl ether (74)
Option 2 The extent of H-bonding decreases from water to methanol while it is absent in ether
Option 3 The extent of intramolecular H-bonding decreases from ether to methanol to water
Option 4 The density of water is 1.00 g mL-1, methanol 0.7914 g mL-1 and that of diethyl ether is
0.7137 g mL-1
Correct Answer 2
Explanation Water is having the strongest intermolecular H-bond as it has no alkyl radicals present
in its. Then comes methanol while dimethyl ether has no H-bonds is it.

Q. No. 91 In ice, the length of H-bonds:

Option 1 Is less than that of covalent bonds
Option 2 Is greater than that of covalent bonds
Option 3 Is same as that of covalent bonds
Option 4 Can be less grater or same as that of covalent bonds
Correct Answer 2
Explanation Covalent bonds are shorter than H-bonds.

Q. No. 92 The correct order of strength of H-bond is:

Option 1 H...F > H... O > H...N
Option 2 H...N > H... O > H...F
Option 3 H... O > H...N > H...F
Option 4 H...F > H...N > H... O
Correct Answer 1
Explanation Strength of H-bonds depend upon electronegativity of atom attached to H and the
sequences is F > O > N .

Q. No. 93 o-nitrophenol can be easily steam distilled whereas p-nitrophenol cannot be. This is
because of :
Option 1 Strong intermolecular hydrogen bonding in o-nitrophenol
Option 2 Strong intramolecular hydrogen bonding in o-nitrophenol
Option 3 Strong intramolecular hydrogen bonding in p-nitrophenol
Option 4 Dipole moment of p-nitrophenol is larger than that of o-nitrophenol
Correct Answer 2
Explanation o-nitrophenol can be easily steam distilled because its boiling point is less as it exhibits
intramolecular H-bonding and cannot form chain like structure.

Q. No. 94 What is not true about ice?

Option 1 It has open cage like structure
Option 2 It has less density than water
Option 3 Each O atom is surrounded by 4 H atoms
Option 4 Each O atom has four H-bonds around it
Correct Answer 2
Explanation When ice melts to form liquid water than some of the hydrogen bonds are broken up
and H2O molecules which are free they occupy the interstitial vacant spaces resulting
in the contraction in volume.
