`XeF_2` is isostructural withA. `ICl_2^(-)`B. `SbCl_3`C. `BaCl_2`D. `TeF_2` |
Answer» Correct Answer - A The steric number `(SN)` of `XeF_2` is `2+3=5`, thus, it is linear. `SN` of `ICI_2^(-)` is `2+3=5`, thus, it is linear. SN of `SbCl_3` is `3+1=4`, thus, it is trigonal pyramidal. `SN` of `TeF_2` is `2+2=4`, thus, it is angular or bent-shaped. Conclusion is that `XeF_2` (linear) is isostructural with `ICl_2^(-)` (linear). |
