Which of the following sets is correct?
Options
- AI
- BII
- CIII
- DIV
Correct answer
A. I
Step-by-step solution
SiH ₄ : Si belongs to group 14 , has 4 valence electrons, undergoes sp ^3 - hybridization to form a tetrahedral geometry. Be in BeCl ₂ is in sp-hybridization and forms linear shape. S in SF ₄ is in dsp ^3 - hybridization and forms a squarepyramidal geometry with one lone pair. SnCl ₂ has Sn in sp ^2 - hybridization and forms an angular geometry with one lone pair. Thus, only I is correct.
