Of the following molecules, which have shape similar to \(\mathrm{CO}_{2} ?\)
- A \(\mathrm{HgCl}_{2}\)
- B \(\mathrm{SnCl}_{2}\)
- C \(\mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{2}\)
- D \(\mathrm{NO}_{2}\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) \(\mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{2}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\mathrm{HgCl}_{2}\) and \(\mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{2}\) both show linear shape as of \(\mathrm{CO}_{2}\). (\(\because\) both have zero lone pair of electrons)
