Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) (ai),(bv),(civ),(diii)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The hybridization of tin in SnCl2 is sp2 and it has one lone pair and two bond pairs. Hence, geometry should be Bent shape. The hybridisation of xenon in XeF4 is sp3d2 and it has two lone pairs and four bond pairs. Hence, geometry should be square planar. The hybridisation of…
