Which of the following is not isostructural with S i C l 4 ?
Options
- AS O 4 2 -
- BP O 4 3 -
- CN H 4 +
- DS C l 4
Correct answer
D. S C l 4
Step-by-step solution
In S i C l 4 there is s p 3 hybridisation so the structure is tetrahedral. In S O 4 2 - , P O 4 3 - , N H 4 + the structure is tetrahedral because in all hybridization is s p 3 . But in S C l 4 , s p 3 d hydridisation is present so shape is different which is see saw.
