The following questions are case-based question. Each question has internal choice and
carries 4 marks each. Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.
29 Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow: 1+1+2
The extent of overlap decides the strength of a covalent bond. In general, greater the overlap
the stronger is the bond formed between two atoms. Therefore, according to orbital overlap
concept, the formation of a covalent bond between two atoms results by pairing of electrons
present in the valence shell having opposite spins. In case of homo nuclear compound electron
pair is situated exactly between the two identical nuclei but in case of hetero nuclear
compound the shared electron pair get displaced toward one of the atom with more
electronegativity, makes bond polar. The valence bond theory explains the shape, the bonding
and directional properties of bonds in polyatomic molecules like CH4, NH3 and H2O, etc. in
terms of overlap and hybridization of atomic orbitals.

a) Write the hybridization state of the central atom of the following species:
PCl4+ and XeOF4

30 Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow: 1+1+2

CH3CH2+ (ethyl cation) in which the positively charged carbon atom has an empty p orbital. One
of the C-H bonds of the methyl group can align in the plane of this empty p orbital and the
electron constituting the C−H bond in the plane with this p orbital can then be delocalized into
the empty p orbital. The overlapping stabilizes the carbocation in such a way that electron
density from the adjacent σ bond helps in dispersing the positive charge, such type of effect is
called hyper conjugation effect. It also helps to stabilize the alkene and radical system.
a) Among (CH3)2CH+ and (CH3)3C+, which one carbocation is more stable and why?
 b) Arrange these alkenes in increasing order of their stability:
