11. In AB2E2 type molecule, the B-A-B bond angle is always greater than the tetrahedral angle (E-lone
pair)
III. In CIO3, NH3, and XeO3, the hybridisation and number of lone pairs on the central atom are same
IV. In Pa molecule there are six P-P bonds and four lone pairs of electrons
1) I, II and III
2)I, III and IV
3) III and IV
4) All are correct​

Answer 1

Answer:

1.Ans: Statement is correct.

The hybridisation in the cation of solid PCI, is sp3. ... In CIO, NH, and XeOg, the hybridisation and number of lone pairs on the central atom are same. IV. In P, molecule there are six P-P bonds and four lone pairs of electrons.

3.Ans: Statement is correct.

In CIO3, NH3, and XeO3, the hybridisation and number of lone pairs on the central atom are same. ... In Pa molecule there are six P-P bonds and four lone pairs of electrons.

4.Ans: Statement is correct.

Hence, each P atom has one lone pair of electron and each covalent bond (includes two electrons) will be formed. Therefore, in total there will be 4 lone pair of electrons and six P-P single bonds in a molecule of white phosphorus.
