Question

Co2 is isostructural with
(a) SnCl2
(b) SO2
(c) HgCl2
(d) All the above

Answer 1

Hgcl2 doesn't contain line pair
as in so2 1lone pair is present
in sncl2 1 lone pair is present
as co2 also didn't have an lone pair

so
hgcl2 is isostructural with co2

Answer 2

Answer:

The answer is $HgCl_{2}$

Explanation:

Carbon dioxide is a three-atom covalent molecule. One carbon atom and two oxygen atoms make up a molecule. These are placed in a straight line. On either side of the carbon atom, there are two oxygen atoms that are doubly linked to the carbon atom. Carbon dioxide has a linear structure as a result of this.

The bond angle is $O=C=O is 180{\°}$ .

Similarly,

$HgCl_{2}$ also has a linear structure.

$Cl-Hg-Cl$ bond angle is $180{\°}$.
