Question

In a molecule of pyrophosphoric acid, the number of POH\mathrm{P-OH}, P=O\mathrm{P=O} and POP\mathrm{P-O-P} bonds/moiety(ies) respectively are:

Options
  1. a

    2, 4 and 1

  2. b

    3, 3 and 3

  3. c

    4, 2 and 0

  4. d

    4, 2 and 1

Correct Answerd

4, 2 and 1

Detailed Solution

Strategy: Predict the shape and hybridization of noble gas compounds using VSEPR theory.

Step 1: Structural Prediction For the given Xenon species, determine the number of valence electrons (8), calculate bond pairs and lone pairs, and derive the geometry.

Step 2: Conclusion Matching the derived shape (e.g., sp3d2sp^3d^2 for \ceXeF4\ce{XeF4}) with the options provides the correct answer.
