TIPS/Formulae :
i) Dipole moment is vector quantity. When vector sum of all dipoles in molecule will be zero, then molecule will not have net dipole moment.
(ii) NOTE: For net dipole moment to be equal to zero, all the atoms attached to central atom must be identical and geometry must be regular.
∴ Carbon tetrachloride having regular geometry and identical atoms attached to bonds has zero dipole moment.

$$CaO$$ and $$NaCl$$ have the same crystal structure
and approximately the same ionic radii. If $$U$$ is the lattice energy of $$NaCl,$$ the approximate lattice energy of $$CaO$$ is
$${\text{Lattice energy}} = \frac{{{\text{Product of charges}}}}{{{\text{interionic distance}}}}$$
In $$NaCl$$ the product of charges $$ = 1 \times 1;$$ In $$CaO$$ product of charges $$ = 2 \times 2 = 4$$ while the inter ionic distance is almost same in both. Thus lattice energy of $$CaO$$ is almost four times the lattice energy of $$NaCl.$$

Which molecule/ion out of the following does not contain unpaired electrons?
The molecular orbital configuration of $$NO$$ is
$$KK{\left( {\sigma 2s} \right)^2}{\left( {\mathop \sigma \limits^* 2s} \right)^2}{\left( {\sigma 2{p_x}} \right)^2}$$ $${\left( {\pi 2{p_y}} \right)^2}{\left( {\pi 2{p_z}} \right)^2}{\left( {\mathop \pi \limits^* 2{p_y}} \right)^1}$$
So, $$NO$$ is paramagnetic because it contains one unpaired electron.

Which of the following angle corresponds to $$s{p^2}$$ hybridisation?
In the formation of $${d^2}s{p^3}$$ hybrid orbitals, two $$\left( {n - 1} \right)d$$ - orbitals of $${{\text{e}}_g}$$ set, i.e. $$\left( {n - 1} \right){d_{{z^2}}}$$ and $$\left( {n - 1} \right){d_{{x^2} - {y^2}}}$$ orbitals, one $$ns$$ and three $$np\left( {n{p_x},n{p_y}\,{\text{and}}\,n{p_z}.} \right)$$ orbitals combine together.
