The pair of compounds having identical shapes for their molecules is
Options
- A( BCl ₂, ClF ₃ )
- B( SO ₂, CO ₂ )
- C( CH ₄, SF ₄ )
- DNone of the above
Correct answer
D. None of the above
Step-by-step solution
Hybridization of ( Xe ) in ( XeF ₂ ) molecule is ( p³ d ) Three lone pair of electrons occupies the equatorial position and two ( F ) atoms occupies axial position therefore; its shape is linear ( ZnCl ₂ ) is an ionic compound. So, non of the pair have identical shape.
