Regarding the structure of S O 2  and S e O 2 which of the following is true?

Options

  1. AThe gaseous S O 2 and S e O 2 have same V-shaped molecule both in solid and gas phase.
  2. BAt room temperature both S O 2 and S e O 2 are solids.
  3. CIn the solid phase the structure of S O 2 is V -shaped discrete molecule but S e O 2 is cyclic trimeric.
  4. DIn solid phase the structure of S O 2 is V -shaped discrete molecule but S e O 2 has linear polymeric chain.

Correct answer

D. In solid phase the structure of S O 2 is V -shaped discrete molecule but S e O 2 has linear polymeric chain.

Step-by-step solution

The gaseous S O 2 and solid S O 2 both are V-shaped discrete molecule. S e O 2 issolid at room temperature and solid S e O 2 in polymerised by infinite chain.
