Q8. Which of the following has the highest bond energy? (2023)

Solution:

C≡C (triple bond) has the highest bond energy due to the strong attraction between the two carbon atoms.

⏱ Time: 0s

Q9. What is the geometry of a molecule with two bonding pairs and no lone pairs on the central atom? (2023)

Solution:

The geometry is linear when there are two bonding pairs and no lone pairs on the central atom.

Q10. What type of bond is formed between sodium (Na) and chlorine (Cl) in NaCl? (2019)

Solution:

NaCl is formed by the transfer of an electron from sodium to chlorine, resulting in an ionic bond.
