In which one of the following pairs the two species have identical shape, but differ in hybridisation?

  1. A \(\mathrm{l}_3^{-}, \mathrm{BeCl}_2\)
  2. B \(NH_3, BF_3\)
  3. C \(XeF_2, I_3^{-}\)
  4. D \(NH_4^{-}, SF_4\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\mathrm{l}_3^{-}, \mathrm{BeCl}_2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Central \(\mathrm{I}\) in \(\mathrm{I}_3^{-}\)undergoes \(s p^3 d\) hybridisation giving a linear shape with three lone pairs at equatorial positions. Beryllium chloride has linear structure with \(s p\) hybridisation of Be atom.
