The pair of compounds having identical shapes for their molecules is

  1. A \( \mathrm{BCl}_{2}, \mathrm{ClF}_{3} \)
  2. B \( \mathrm{SO}_{2}, \mathrm{CO}_{2} \)
  3. C \( \mathrm{CH}_{4}, \mathrm{SF}_{4} \)
  4. D None of the above
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) None of the above

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Hybridization of \( \mathrm{Xe} \) in \( \mathrm{XeF}_{2} \) molecule is \( p^{3} d \) Three lone pair of electrons occupies the equatorial position and two \( \mathrm{F} \)
atoms occupies axial position therefore; its shape is linear \( \mathrm{ZnCl}_{2} \) is an ionic compound. So, non of the pair have
identical shape.
