Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) Both \(\left[\mathrm{SiF}_6\right]^{2-}\) and \(\left[\mathrm{SiCl}_6\right]^{2-}\) ions are known.

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\left[\mathrm{SiF}_6\right]^{2-}\) is known to exist but due to large size of chlorine \((\mathrm{Cl})\) atom, \(\left[\mathrm{SiCl}_6\right]^{2-}\) ions can not known.
