Identify the correct statement(s) from the following a) Dipole moment of NH ₃ is more than NF ₃ b) SF ₄ is square planar c) SnCl ₄ is more covalent than SnCl ₂ d) l ₂ SO ₄ sulphur atom has expanded octet

Options

  1. Aa,b
  2. Bb,c,d
  3. Ca,c,d
  4. Da,b,c

Correct answer

C. a,c,d

Step-by-step solution

Dipole moment of ( NH ₃ ) is more than ( NF ₃ ) True ( ) ( NH ₃ ) and ( NF ₃ ) both have a pyramidal structure due to the lone pair on nitrogen. In ( NH ₃ ), the bond dipoles (( N - H ) ) and the lone pair dipole reinforce each other, leading to a higher dipole moment. In ( NF ₃ ), the highly electronegative fluorine atoms pull electron density away from nitrogen, opposing the lone pair dipole, resulting in a lower dipole moment. ( SF ₄ ) is square planar False ( ) ( SF ₄ ) has a seesaw shape due to the presence of
