In which of the following pairs do the species have identical shapes?A. `XeO_3` and `I_3^(-)`B. `SnCl_4` and `XeF_4`C. `SO_2` and `SO_3`D. `SnCl_2` and `O_3`

Answer» Correct Answer - D
SN of Sn in `SnCl_2` is `2+1=3`. Therefore, the molecule is angular. In `O_3`, SN of O is `2+1=3`. Therefore, `O_3` is also angular. Similarly, we can work out the steric numbers in other pairs to find out whether they have identical or different shapes.
