Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) XeF2

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Gaseous SnCl2 is sp2 hybridised and has one lone pair of electrons. Thus, it has angular shape. PbCl2 has also angular shape like SnCl2. SO2 is sp2 hybridized with a bent shape due to the presence of lone pair. In XeF2, xenon undergoes sp3d hybridisation and it has three lone…
