QJEEM02Cha65a: JEE Main 2002 Chemistry - Class 11 JEEM02Cha65a Solution: Which of the following statements is true?

Which of the following statements is true?

Multiple Choice Options

  • A HF is less polar than HBr
  • B absolutely pure water does not contain any ions
  • C chemical bond formation takes place when forces of attraction overcome the forces of repulsion
  • D in covalency transference of electron takes place

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

(A) Electronegativity of F is 4 and Electronegativity of H is 2.1.

∴ Electronegativity difference between F and H is = 4 - 2.1 = 1.9

Now Electronegativity of Br is 2.8 and Electronegativity of H is 2.1.

∴ Electronegativity difference between Br and H is = 2.8 - 2.1 = 0.7

As in HF Electronegativity difference is more then it's polar nature is also more.

(B) At equilibrium pure H2O produce very less H+ and OH- ions.

(C) Chemical bond formation takes place when forces of attraction overcome the forces of repulsion.

(D) In covalenrt bond, sharing of electons take place. Transfer of electrons take place in ionic bond.
