  1. A \(\left[\mathrm{SiF}_6\right]^{2-}\)
  2. B \(\left[\mathrm{SiCl}_6\right]^{2-}\)
  3. C \(\left[\mathrm{GeCl}_6\right]^{2-}\)
  4. D \(\left[\mathrm{Sn}(\mathrm{OH})_6\right]^{2-}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\left[\mathrm{SiCl}_6\right]^{2-}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Presence of vacant \(d\)-orbitals in \(\mathrm{Si}, \mathrm{Ge}\) and \(\mathrm{Sn}\), makes the existence of species \(\left[\mathrm{SiF}_6\right]^{2-},\left[\mathrm{GeCl}_6\right]^{2-}\) and \(\left[\mathrm{Sn}(\mathrm{OH})_6\right]^{2-}\) feasible. But…
