- CBoth [ SiF ₆ ]²⁻ and [ SiCl ₆ ]²⁻ ions are known.
- DIn CO molecule, there are one 'sigma' ( ) and two "pi" ( ) bonds.
Correct answer
C. Both [ SiF ₆ ]²⁻ and [ SiCl ₆ ]²⁻ ions are known.
Step-by-step solution
[ SiF ₆ ]²⁻ is known to exist but due to large size of chlorine ( Cl ) atom, [ SiCl ₆ ]²⁻ ions can not known.
