Chemical Bonding And Molecular Structure Ques 37
37. In $X-H-Y, X$ and $Y$ both are electronegative elements
[2001]
(a) Electron density on $X$ will increase and on $H$ will decrease
(b) In both electron density will decrease
(c) In both electron density will increase
(d) Electron density will decrease on $X$ and will increase on $H$
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: 37.(a)
Solution:
(a) In $X-H-\cdots, X$ and $Y$ both are electronegative elements (i.e attracts the electron pair) then electron density on $X$ will increase and on $H$ will decrease.
