A tin chloride undergoes the following reactions (not balanced)
is a monoanion having pyramidal geometry. Both and are neutral compounds. Choose the correct option(s).


is a monoanion having pyramidal geometry. Both and are neutral compounds. Choose the correct option(s).
Options
- AThe central atoms in X is hybridized
- BThe oxidation state of the central atom in is
- CThe central atom in has one lone pair of electrons
- DThere is a coordinate bond in
Correct answer
A. The central atoms in X is hybridized
Step-by-step solution
Sn has vacant d orbitals in tin(II)chloride which can be used to accommodate electron pairs and form coordinate bond.
LP = Lone pairs
X is mono anion with hybridisation and It has trigonal pyramidal geometry.
The above reaction is a Lewis acid-base reaction. The adduct Y formed is a coordination compound, and it is a neutral compound.
The central atom in Z is tin, its oxidation state is +4, and it has no lone pair electrons. Z is a neutral compound.
