Question

From VSEPR theory, we know central atoms are surrounded by both bounded and lone pair of electrons, give rise to an irregular geometry in molecule on account of different repuslive, interactions between electron pairs. Then, which of the following is isostructural with C₂H₂ :– 

(a) H₂O₂ 

(b) NO₂ 

(c) SnCl₂ 

(d) CO₂

Answer 1

Correct option  (d) CO₂   

Explanation:

Structure of CO₂ is O = C = O

Structure of C₂H₂ is H—C°C—H

both have linear structure
