| B. | II. Square planar |
| C. | III. Bent shaped |
| D. | IV. Tetrahedral |
Choose the correct answer from the options given below :
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
D.
Step-by-step solution
(A) :
has 4 bond pairs along with 2 lone pairs in the . Thus, the hybridisation of is . Now since it contains two lone pairs it will show square planar geometry.
(B) :
The lone pair is an equatorial position, and there are two lone-pair—bond pair repulsions. Hence, it is more stable. So, the shape is described as a distorted tetrahedron, a folded square or a see-saw.
(C) :
In this case steric number = lone pair + sigma bond = 0 + 4 = 4.
So, it is sp3 hybridisation. There is no lone pair present. Thus, the shape of this ion is tetrahedral.
(D) :
To decrease repulsion between the lone pairs, the molecule's structure is bent, making it T-shaped.
