Identify the pair that is not is ostructural.

  1. A \(\mathrm{PCl}_s, \mathrm{BrF}_s\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{CH}_4, \mathrm{SiCl}_4\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{CO}_3^{2-}, \mathrm{NO}_3^{-}\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{AlF}_6^{3-}, \mathrm{SF}_6\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\mathrm{PCl}_s, \mathrm{BrF}_s\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Isostructural species have same shape and hybridisation. Accept \(\mathrm{PCI}_5, \mathrm{BrF}_5\) all species are is isostructural. \(\mathrm{PCl}_5\)-trigonal bipyramidaI shape \(s p^3 d\) \(\mathrm{BrF}_5\)-square pyramidal shape \(s p^3 d^2\)
