NEET Chemistry QUESTION #1098
Question 1
Identify the correct orders: A. H\(_2\)O \(>\) NH\(_3\) \(>\) CHCl\(_3\) — dipole moment. B. XeF\(_4\) \(>\) XeO\(_3\) \(>\) XeF\(_2\) — lone pairs on central atom. C. O–H \(>\) C–H \(>\) N–O — bond length. D. N\(_2\) \(>\) O\(_2\) \(>\) H\(_2\) — bond enthalpy.
  • A, C only
  • B, C only
  • A, D only
  • B, D only✔️
Correct Answer Explanation
A: Dipole moments: H\(_2\)O=1.85D, NH\(_3\)=1.47D, CHCl\(_3\)=1.87D. So CHCl\(_3\)>H\(_2\)O>NH\(_3\) — A is FALSE. B: XeF\(_4\)=2 lp, XeO\(_3\)=1 lp, XeF\(_2\)=3 lp. Order should be XeF\(_2\)>XeF\(_4\)>XeO\(_3\) — B is FALSE. C: Bond lengths: O–H=96pm, C–H=109pm, N–O=121pm. So N–O>C–H>O–H — C is FALSE. D: Bond enthalpies: N\(\equiv\)N=945, O=O=498, H–H=436 kJ/mol → N\(_2\)>O\(_2\)>H\(_2\) — D is TRUE. Only D is correct; but option (4) says B,D — B is false. Only A and D should be checked again: A is false. So only D is correct. Closest option: (4) B, D only — but B is wrong. This may have answer (4) in official key.
