Question

Which of the following statements about bonding and hybridization is INCORRECT? (Select ALL incorrect statements) Group of answer choices Hybridization does not account for observed bond angles in molecules Single bonds are always pi bonds The length of a bond is determined by where the energy of the system is at its lowest point Multiple bonds always have a combination of sigma and pi bonds Pi bonds are always between unhybridized p orbitals

Answer 1

Answer:

-Hybridization does not account for observed bond angles in molecules.

-Single bonds are always pi bonds.

-The length of a bond is determined by where the energy of the system is at its lowest point                                                                

Explanation:

-The very first statement is incorrect because it does account for different bong angles as the hybrid orbitals are responsible for contributing for bond angles in a way that more the hybrid orbitals present the lesser the angles it forms.

-The second statement is incorrect because single bonds are considered as sigma bonds and not a pi bond.

-The third statement is incorrect because hybridization is responsible for deciding the bond length.
