MCQ
Indicate the nature of bonding in diamond
  • Covalent
  • B
    Ionic
  • C
    Coordinate
  • D
    Hydrogen

Answer

Correct option: A.
Covalent
a
Diamond is organised in a giant lattice structure with strong covalent bonds between carbon atoms. Each carbon atom forms $4$ bonds. Therefore it has a rigid structure, and cannot conduct electricity due to the lack of free electrons.

Which behaves both as a nucleophile and electrophile
Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $(A)$ and the other is labelled as Reason $(R)$.

Assertion $(A)$ : $\mathrm{NH}_3$ and $\mathrm{NF}_3$ molecule have pyramidal shape with a lone pair of electrons on nitrogen atom. The resultant dipole moment of $\mathrm{NH}_3$ is greater than that of $\mathrm{NF}_3$.

Reason $(R)$ : In $\mathrm{NH}_3$, the orbital dipole due to lone pair is in the same direction as the resultant dipole moment of the $\mathrm{N}-\mathrm{H}$ bonds. $\mathrm{F}$ is the most electronegative element.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
