SnCl_2 is angular, but HgCl_2 is linear. Why? Write their VSEPR notations. |
| Answer» Solution :`SnCl_(2)` has to BOND PAIRS and one Ione pair. Hence, it is ANGULAR `HgCl_(2)` has 2 bond pairs and no Ione pair. Hence it is linear. `SnCl_(2)` is denoted as `AB_(2)E`. `HgCl_(2)` is denoted as `AB_(2)`. | |
