Answer 2

The molecular geometry of $SnCl_2$ will be bent.

Explanation:

Formula used : ${\text{Number of electrons}} =\frac{1}{2}[V+N-C+A]$

where, V = number of valence electrons present in central atom

N = number of monovalent atoms bonded to central atom

C = charge of cation

A = charge of anion

For $SnCl_2$

${\text{Number of electrons}} =\frac{1}{2}[4+2-0+0]=3$

The number of electrons is 3 that means the hybridization will be $sp^2$ and geometry of the molecule will be trigonal planar. As there two bond pairs, the third position will be occupied by lone pair of electrons,  the molecular geometry will be bent.
