Question

Which pair has species with different shapes?
A BeCl2 and CO2
B CH4 and NH4+
C NH3 and BF3
D SCl2 and H2O
With Explanation plz.Whoever gives correct ans I will mark it as brainiest

Answer 1

Answer:

option c

Explanation:

NH3 is trigonal pyramidal in shape

BF3 is trigonal planar in shape

Answer 2

The pair (C.) has species with different shapes. NH₃ and BF₃ both have different shapes.

Explanation:

We can check each of the pairs to get the pair containing species with different shapes:

Option (A.): Both BeCl₂ and CO₂ molecules have linear shapes with a bond angle of 180⁰. Both BeCl₂ and CO₂ molecules have sp hybridization.

Option (B.): Both CH₄ and NH₄⁺ molecules have a tetrahedral geometry. Both CH₄ and NH₄⁺ molecules have sp³ hybridization.

Option (C.): NH₃ molecule has a trigonal pyramidal shape with sp³ hybridization whereas BF₃ molecule has a trigonal planar shape with sp² hybridization.

Option (D.): Both SCl₂ and H₂O molecules have bent shape geometry. Both SCl₂ and H₂O molecules have sp³ hybridization.

Therefore, Option (C.) containing NH₃ and BF₃ has species with different shapes.
