Q47 / 180 · NEET 2019 (All India) · Chemistry
Identify the incorrect statement related to from the following:
- AThree equatorial bonds make an angle of with each other
- BTwo axial bonds make an angle of with each other
- CAxial bonds are longer than equatorial bonds
- Correct answerDmolecule is non-reactive
Solution

(i) Three equatorial bonds make an angle of with each other is correct.
(ii) Two axial bonds make an angle of with each other.
(iii) Axial bonds are longer than equatorial because according to Bent’s rule the hybrid orbitals that contain more character or less character are placed on axial position and have more bond length.
(iv) molecule is reactive (W) is the incorrect answer.
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
