Question

CO2 is isostructural with a) SO2 b) NO2 c) C2H2 d) SnCl2?

Answer 1

Isostructural indicates that both molecules will be having same chemical structure.

CO2 is linear molecule and it is isostructural with C2 H2. By viewing the structure of CO2 you might understand that O=C=O.

Thus, it is liner in structure by utilizing hybridization.

By checking all the compounds, we can see that, C2H2 has got the linear structure since it is carbon hybridized.

Answer 2

Isostructural means having same shape and hybridisation of central atom.

Therefore, option(c) is correct
