PART - IV : COMPREHENSION
Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions.
Comprehension # 1
The degree of polarity of a covalent compound is measured by the dipole moment (bond) of the bond
defined as:
bond = Charge on one of the poles  bond length
bond is a vector quantity. The dipole moment of a molecule is the vector addition of all the bond dipole
moments present in it. For a triatomic molecule, containing two bond's like H2O, molecule is given by
2molecule = 2bond + 2bond + 2bond.bond cos 
  = bond angle
The % ionic character of a bond is calculated using the equations

% ionic character = obs  100
ionic
ionic = dipole moment when the molecule is assumed to be completely ionic.

Molecular geometry is the general shape of a molecule as determined by the relative positions of the
atomic nuclei. VSEPR model predicts the shape of the molecules & ions in which valence shell electron
pairs are arranged about the atom as far away from one another as possible, thus minimizing pair
repulsion information about the geometry of a molecule can sometimes be obtained from an
experimental quantity called dipole moment.

(A) ClF3 (B) BrF5 (C) IF7 (D) BrCl
Comprehension # 3
A covalent bond in which electrons are shared unequally and the bonded atoms acquire a partial
positive and negative charge, is called a polar covalent bond. Bond polarity is described in terms of
ionic character.
Similarly in ionic bond, some covalent character is introduced because of the tendency of the cation to
polarise the anion. The magnitude of covalent character in the ionic bond depends upon the extent of
polarization caused by cations.
In general :
(i) Smaller the size of cation, larger is its polarizing power.
(ii) Larger the anion, more will be its polarisability.
(iii) Among two cations of similar size, the polarizing power of cations with pseudo - inert gas
configuration (ns2np6nd10) is larger than cation with noble gas configuration (ns2np6) e.g. polarizing
power of Ag+ is more than K+.

electrons are loosely bound with the nucleus).

So, NiO < MgO < SrO < K2O < Cs2O
