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




Options
- A
- BDiamond, silicon carbide
- C
- D
Correct answer
D.
Step-by-step solution
i. Hybridization of N{H}_{3}\left[σ = 3, lp = 1\right]
geometry : Tetrahedral

ii. Structures of is square planar.

Structure of is tetrahedral

So and are not isostructural.
iii. Structure of is tetrahedral.

Structure of is tetrahedral.

iv. Diamond and SiC both are isostructural because both have tetrahedral arrangement and central atom is hybridized.
