JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 11 - 4. Chemical bonding and molecular structure

The pairs among \(A = [\text{SO}_3^{2-}, \text{CO}_3^{2-}]\), \(B = [\text{O}_2^{2-}, \text{F}_2]\), \(C = [\text{CN}^-, \text{CO}]\), \(D = [\text{NH}_3, \text{H}_3\text{O}^+]\) and \(E = [\text{MnO}_4^{2-}, \text{CrO}_4^{2-}]\) that do not have similar Lewis dot structure are

  1. A A, B and E
  2. B A and E
  3. C B, C and D
  4. D C and D
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) A and E

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Species with the same number of valence electrons and the same skeletal structure generally have similar Lewis dot structures (isoelectronic species). For pair A: \(\text{SO}_3^{2-}\) has \(6 + 3(6) + 2 = 26\) valence electrons. \(\text{CO}_3^{2-}\) has \(4 + 3(6) + 2 = 24\)…
