Question

co2 is isostructural with - a) HgCl2 b)SnCl2 c)C2H2 d)NO2

Answer 1

Hello dear,

● Answer -
(a) HgCl2

● Explaination -
- CO2 is a linear molecule with C-atom in the middle and two O-atoms bonded at 180°.
- HgCl2 is also a linear molecule with Hg-atom in the middle & Cl-atoms on the sides.
- Therefore, we can say that CO2 is isostructural with HgCl2.



Hope this helps you.
Keep asking..

Answer 2

Answer:

then C2H2 will be also iso structural, because it has also linear shape and sp hybridization.. plz let me know it
