Chemical Bonding and Molecular Structure question

2025 · 2 Apr · Shift 1 · Q20

JEE MainChemistryChemical Bonding and Molecular StructureMCQ+4 / −1
Consider the following molecules: JEE Main 2025 (Online) 2nd April Morning Shift Chemistry - Chemical Bonding & Molecular Structure Question 10 English The correct order of rate of hydrolysis is :
  1. A

  2. B
    r>q>p>sr>q>p>sr>q>p>s
  3. C

Correct answer: QUESTION INCOMPLETE: PLEASE PROVIDE THE MOLECULES P, Q, R, S.

The question says “Consider the following molecules” but the actual structures of p,q,r,sp, q, r, sp,q,r,s are missing from the prompt.

So, as written, the order of hydrolysis cannot be derived uniquely from the information provided.

1. What is needed to solve this question

For a hydrolysis-order question in chemical bonding, we must know the identities/structures of the four species p,q,r,sp, q, r, sp,q,r,s.

Typical factors affecting hydrolysis rate are:

  1. Presence of vacant orbitals on the central atom
  2. Electronegativity of substituents
  3. Steric hindrance around the central atom
  4. Ability of the central atom to expand coordination number
  5. Bond polarity and bond strength

Without the actual molecules, none of the options can be tested rigorously.

2. Comparison with stored answer

The stored correct answer is A: p>q>r>sp > q > r > sp>q>r>s

However, because the species p,q,r,sp, q, r, sp,q,r,s are not shown, I cannot independently verify that order.

3. Conclusion

The problem statement is incomplete. Please provide the structures/names of molecules p,q,r,sp, q, r, sp,q,r,s so the hydrolysis order can be worked out step-by-step.

Given the missing data, I cannot honestly confirm option A from first principles.
