Reason (R): and have orbitals to accept a pair of electrons
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
A is not correct but R is correct.
Option D (A is not correct but R is correct) is correct because GeF4 and SiF4 act as Lewis acids, not bases, due to the presence of vacant d-orbitals on Ge and Si.

is well known whereas not. The main reason is/are:
I) Six large chloride ions cannot be accommodated around due to limitation of its size.
II) Interaction between lone pair of ion and ion is not very strong.
I) Six large chloride ions cannot be accommodated around due to limitation of its size.
II) Interaction between lone pair of ion and ion is not very strong.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
Both are correct
The correct answer is C because both statements are correct; the larger size of chloride ions and the limited size of Si4+ prevent six chloride ions from being accommodated, and the interaction between chloride and silicon is not strong enough.

Statement-1: The bond in is longer than in .
Statement-2: In changing from to , the electron is removed from nonbonding molecular orbital having anti-bonding character.
Statement-2: In changing from to , the electron is removed from nonbonding molecular orbital having anti-bonding character.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
Statement- 1 is true, statement-2 is false.
The correct answer is C because Statement-1 is true, but Statement-2 is false. Removing an electron from CO to form CO+ shortens the bond length, and the electron is removed from a bonding orbital.
