Q31 / 170 · Manipal (MET) 2019 · Chemistry
Bond between $A$ and $B$ can be represented by
$A-B, A^{+} B^{-}, A^{-} B^{+}$
(I) (II) (III)
If $A$ is more electronegative than $B$, then least contribution to the actual structure comes from
- AI
- Correct answerBII
- CIII
- DAll the structures have equal contribution
Solution
Structure II shows $A$ to be electropositive. Hence, It will have least contribution.
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
