SECTION D
The following questions are case -based questions. Each question has an internal
choice and carries 4 (1+1+2) marks each. Read the passage carefully and answer the
questions that follow.

29. There are two different approaches that have been put forward to explain the shapes
of molecules. These are valence shell electron pair repulsion theory and hybridisation.
VSEPR theory is based on the repulsions among the electron pairs ( bond pairs and
lone pairs ) present around the central atom so that they take up the directions.Where
there are minimum repulsions between them. Hybridisation is based on mixing atomic
orbitals of an atom (empty, half filled or fully filled)of comparable energy forming new
equivalent orbitals of the same shape and energy, called hybrid orbitals. These hybrid
orbitals then overlap with the orbitals of other atoms. Overlapping may take place
between two half filled orbitals or one empty and one fully filled orbital. The direction of
overlap gives the direction of bonds formed and hence the shape of molecule or ion.

Based on the above paragraph, answer the following questions.

1. On the basis of VSEPR theory, explain the shape of ammonium ion.
2. Briefly explain the shape of the SF4 molecule.

dissociate into PCl3?

(ii) Bond angle in PH3 is less than that in NH3
