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.
