Question

9.) Describe a sigma bond.

A) overlap of two f orbitals

B) end to end overlap of p orbitals

C) s orbital overlapping with the side of a p orbital

D) side by side overlap of p orbitals

E) p orbital overlapping with a d orbital

10.) What is the molecular geometry of SCl4?

A) tetrahedral

B) seesaw

C) square pyramidal

D) square planar

Answer 1

9)

Sigma bond described as

B) end to end overlap of p orbitals

10)

B) seesaw

In SCl4, central atom S have 6 valance electrons. In which 4 electrons will form 4 sigma bonds and left with one lone pair.

So, it is having sp3d hybridization with sea saw geometry.
