JEE Main 2025 — Chemical Bonding And Molecular Structure Question with Solution
From: JEE Main 2025 (Online) 2nd April Morning Shift
Question
A molecule with the formula has all it's elements from p-block. Element A is rarest, monoatomic, non-radioactive from its group and has the lowest ionization enthalpy value among and Y . Elements X and Y have first and second highest electronegativity values respectively among all the known elements. The shape of the molecule is:
Choose an option
Show full solutionCorrect option: B
Step-by-step explanation
Given A is rarest, monoatomic, non-radioactive p-block element and form type of molecule.
It is concluded that it is Xe
It is given the electronegativity of A is less than X & Y
It is given the electronegativity of is highest and second highest respectively among all element.
& Y are F & O
Compound is consider as with square pyramidal shape.
