A) 2n2
B) 2(2l+1)
C) 2
D) (21+1)
View Answer
B) 2(2l+1)
Explanation:For angular momentum quantum number l = 1 (i.e. p-subshell), number of orbitals = ,
Each orbital holds 2 electrons → total =
Answer:2(2l + 1)

110)Which of the following is correct regarding the melting points of ionic, polar covalent and non-polar covalent compounds?
A) Polar covalent > ionic > non-polar covalent
B) Ionic > Polar covalent > non-polar covalent
C) Ionic > non-polar covalent > polar covalent
D) All have same melting point
View Answer
B) Ionic > Polar covalent > non-polar covalent
Explanation:Ionic > Polar covalent > Non-polar covalent in terms of melting point, due to strong electrostatic forces in ionic compounds.
Answer:Ionic > Polar covalent > non-polar covalent
