Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) II, IV, V

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Structure of : I. \(\mathrm{SnCl}_2 \mathrm{Sn}\) have 4 valence electrons, which form two sigma \((\sigma)\) bonds and have one lone pair \((l p)\) of electrons over Sn atom, thus have Cl[Sn]Cl \(\mathrm{V}\)-shaped structure. II.…
