ChemistryChemical Bonding and Molecular StructureJEE Main

Which are true statements among the following? (1) and do not exist (2) bonds are present in (3) Electrons travel with the speed of light (4) and have the same shape (5) has a bent geometry

Answer: (B)

Solution

(1) True — and cannot stably support 5 bonds in / (the latter is destabilized further by the inert pair effect on Bi(V)). (2) True — back-bonding between filled O and empty S orbitals is invoked for S=O bonding in . (3) False — electrons in atoms move at only a small fraction of
