Worked practice questions

The notes calculate $\lambda_m^c$ using $\lambda_m^c = \dfrac{0.04 \times 1000}{0.1}$. What value is obtained?

  1. 40
  2. 400
  3. 4000
  4. 4
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: B. 400

Compute $\lambda_m^c = \dfrac{0.04 \times 1000}{0.1} = \dfrac{40}{0.1} = 400$.

What is the shape of a molecule whose central atom is $sp^3$ hybridised and has no lone pairs (e.g. $\mathrm{CH_4}$)?

  1. Trigonal pyramidal
  2. Tetrahedral
  3. Bent / V-shaped
  4. Square planar
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: B. Tetrahedral

Four $sp^3$ hybrid orbitals point to the vertices of a regular tetrahedron, giving a bond angle of $109.5°$. With no lone pairs to compress these angles, the molecular geometry equals the electron-pair geometry. Methane ($\mathrm{CH_4}$) is the textbook example.

![](https://qallery.app/diagrams/v2_bonding_seed_1/img-24.jpeg) What is the hybridisation of the central P atom in $\mathrm{PCl_5}$?

  1. $sp^2$
  2. $sp^3d^2$
  3. $sp$
  4. $sp^3d$
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: D. $sp^3d$

P in $\mathrm{PCl_5}$ has five bonded chlorines and no lone pair. That gives five electron domains. The hybridisation needed is $sp^3d$ (one $s$ + three $p$ + one $d$ orbital = five hybrid orbitals). The molecular geometry is trigonal bipyramidal. $sp^3d^2$ would give six domains and an octahedral geometry, which is what you see in $\mathrm{SF_6}$, not $\mathrm{PCl_5}$.
