Which one of the following compounds of Group-1414 elements is not known?

Options

  1. A[GeCl6]2−{\left[{GeCl}_{6}\right]}^{2 -}
  2. B[Sn(OH)6]2−{\left[Sn{\left(OH\right)}_{6}\right]}^{2 -}
  3. C[SiCl6]2−{\left[{SiCl}_{6}\right]}^{2 -}
  4. D[SiF6]2−{\left[{SiF}_{6}\right]}^{2 -}

Correct answer

C. [SiCl6]2−{\left[{SiCl}_{6}\right]}^{2 -}

Step-by-step solution

[SiCl6]2−{\left[{SiCl}_{6}\right]}^{2 -} does not exist due to steric crowding of surrounding atoms.
