In which of the following pairs, both the species are not isostructural?In which of the following pairs, both the species are not isostructural?In which of the following pairs, both the species are not isostructural?In which of the following pairs, both the species are not isostructural?In which of the following pairs, both the species are not isostructural?In which of the following pairs, both the species are not isostructural?

Options

  1. ASiCl4,PCl4+SiC{l}_{4}, {PCl}_{4}^{+}
  2. BDiamond, silicon carbide
  3. CNH3,PH3N{H}_{3}, P{H}_{3}
  4. DXeF4,XeO4Xe{F}_{4}, Xe{O}_{4}

Correct answer

D. XeF4,XeO4Xe{F}_{4}, Xe{O}_{4}

Step-by-step solution

i. Hybridization of N{H}_{3}\left[σ = 3, lp = 1\right]

sp3s{p}^{3} geometry : Tetrahedral

In which of the following pairs, both the species are not isostructural?

ii. Structures of XeF4Xe{F}_{4} is square planar.

In which of the following pairs, both the species are not isostructural?

Structure of XeO4Xe{O}_{4} is tetrahedral

In which of the following pairs, both the species are not isostructural?

So XeF4Xe{F}_{4} and XeO4Xe{O}_{4} are not isostructural.

iii. Structure of SiCl4SiC{l}_{4} is tetrahedral.

In which of the following pairs, both the species are not isostructural?

Structure of PCl4+{PCl}_{4}^{+} is tetrahedral.

In which of the following pairs, both the species are not isostructural?

iv. Diamond and SiC both are isostructural because both have tetrahedral arrangement and central atom is sp3s{p}^{3} hybridized.
