Which of the following statements are not correct?
(i) NaCl being an ionic compound is a good conductor of electricity in the solid state.
(ii) In canonical structures there is a difference in the arrangement of atoms.
(iii) Hybrid orbitals form stronger bonds than pure orbitals.
(iv) VSEPR Theory can explain the square planar geometry of
The answer is the option (i) NaCl being an ionic compound is a good conductor of electricity in solid-state and (ii) In canonical structures, there is a difference in the arrangement of atoms
Explanation: In (i) ions are not free in solid-state but are strongly bonded through electrostatic forces, and in (ii) it does not show canonical structures being ionic compounds.
