Free Chemical Bonding MCQs with Answers
964 Chemical Bonding MCQs from Chemistry, each with the correct answer and a written explanation of why it is correct. Free and unlimited, with no account needed.
Chemical bonding explains molecular shape through VSEPR theory and distinguishes sigma bonds from pi bonds. Questions involve hybridization, bond angles, dipole moment and bond energy, including how electron-pair repulsion determines geometry and how bond polarity differs from the overall polarity of a molecule.

- A. Linear
- B. V shape
- C. Tetragonal
- D. Triangular
Explanation: The correct molecular shape for a molecule with two sigma bond pairs and one lone pair is V shape or bent.
Correct answer: V shape- A. Tetrahedral shape
- B. Square planar shape
- C. Trigonalbipyramidal shape
- D. Octahedral shape
Explanation: Tetrahedral and Square planar have 4 bonding pairs, trigonal bipyramidal = 5 coordination number whereas octahedral = 6 coordination…
Correct answer: Octahedral shape- A. CH4
- B. H2O
- C. SO2
- D. O2
Explanation: C is the correct option as the electronic structure of the SO2 molecule is best represented as a resonance hybrid of two equivalent…
Correct answer: SO2- A. Small size of oxygen atom
- B. Greater electronegativity of oxygen atom
- C. Oxygen contains 2 lone pair of electrons
- D. All of the above
Explanation: The bond angle in H2S is less than in H2O due to the smaller size of oxygen and the presence of two lone pairs of electrons on the oxygen…
Correct answer: All of the above
