Worked practice questions

According to VSEPR theory, the shape of a molecule is determined by

  1. the colour of the element
  2. temperature
  3. repulsion between electron pairs around the central atom
  4. the atomic mass
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: C. repulsion between electron pairs around the central atom

VSEPR: electron pairs (bonding + lone) arrange to minimise repulsion, fixing the molecular geometry.

The hybridisation of carbon in methane (CH₄) is

  1. sp
  2. sp³
  3. sp³d
  4. sp²
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: B. sp³

Four sigma bonds, tetrahedral → sp³ hybridisation.

Which molecule is non-polar despite having polar bonds?

  1. HCl
  2. H₂O
  3. NH₃
  4. CO₂
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: D. CO₂

CO₂ is linear and symmetric, so the two C=O bond dipoles cancel → net zero dipole. H₂O and NH₃ are bent/pyramidal (net dipole).
