The pair of species having identical shapes for molecules of both species is
Options
- AC F 4 , S F 4
- BX e F 2 , C O 2
- CB F 3 , P C l 3
- DP F 5 , I F 5
Correct answer
B. X e F 2 , C O 2
Step-by-step solution
In C O 2 , C-atom is s p -hybridised, thus it has linear structure. In X e F 2 , Xe is s p 3 d hybridised with three lone-pairs of electrons on equatorial positions. This mtextnimtextses repulsion, hence it has also linear structure.
