Q.
Identify the correct orders against the property mentioned
A. H$_2$O > NH$_3$ > CHCl$_3$ - dipole moment
B. XeF$_4$ > XeO$_3$ > XeF$_2$ – number of lone pairs on central atom
C. O–H > C–H > N–O – bond length
D. N$_2$ > O$_2$ > H$_2$ – bond enthalpy
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
A) A, D only
B) B, D only
C) A, C only
D) B, C only
Explanation
[Solution by Claude - not from source] A true (1.85 > 1.47 > 1.04 D). B false (lone pairs: $XeF_2$ 3, $XeF_4$ 2, $XeO_3$ 1). C false (C-H 109 pm is longer than O-H 96 pm). D true (946 > 498 > 436 kJ/mol). Answer (1).
