Which of the following pairs of molecules is isostructural?

  1. A \(\mathrm{HgCl}_2, \mathrm{SO}_2\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{SnCl}_2, \mathrm{PbCl}_2\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{SF}_4, \mathrm{XeF}_4\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{NH}_3, \mathrm{SO}_3\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\mathrm{SnCl}_2, \mathrm{PbCl}_2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{Sn}\) and \(\mathrm{Pb}\) both belong to group 14 of periodic table. Using two of their four valence electrons, they form \(\mathrm{SnCl}_2\) and \(\mathrm{PbCl}_2\) and both have bent/angular shape.
