Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(ONCl\) and \(ONO^-\) are isoelectronic.

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(a) Number of electrons in \(\begin{array}{l}\mathrm{ONCl}=3.2 \mathrm{e}^{-} \\\mathrm{ONO}^{-}=24 \mathrm{e}^{-}\end{array}\) Thus, ONCl and ONO- are not isoelectronic. (b) \(\mathrm{O}_{3}\) has bent shape structure. Central atom O is \(s p^{2}\) hybridised with 1 lone pair…
