Chemical Bonding and Molecular Structure - Result Question 17
####17. In $X-H-Y, X$ and $Y$ both are electronegative elements
(a) Electron density on $X$ will increase and on $H$ will decrease
[2001]
(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
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.
