In SO2, NO2$-$ and N3$-$, the hybridizations at the central atom are respectively :
Given below are two statements :
Statement (I) : is more polar than
Statement (II) : Boiling point of is lower than
but it is more polar than
.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :
Match the List I with List II.
List - I Molecule/Ion |
List - II Bond pair : lone pair (on the central atom) |
||
---|---|---|---|
(A) | $\mathrm{ICl}_2^{-}$ | (I) | $4:2$ |
(B) | $\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}$ | (II) | $4:1$ |
(C) | $\mathrm{SO_2}$ | (III) | $2:3$ |
(D) | $\mathrm{XeF_4}$ | (IV) | $2:2$ |
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Given below are two statements:
Statement (I): For , all three possible structures may be drawn as follows.

Statement (II): Structure III is most stable, as the orbitals having the lone pairs are axial, where the lp – bp repulsion is minimum.
