Question

$C{O}_2$ has the same geometry as:
A) $HgC{l}_2$
B) $N{O}_2$
C) $SnC{l}_2$
D) $C_2{H}_2$

• A. A and C
• B. B and D
• C. A and D
• D. C and D

Answer 1

The correct option is C A and D

$C{O}_2$ is linear because of $sp$ hybridization of carbon consisting of $2$ bond pairs.
$HgC{l}_2$ is linear.
$N{O}_2$ has V (or) Bent shape due to $s{p}^2$ hybridization, where nitrogen forms $2$ bond pairs and $1$ lone pair.
$SnC{l}_2$ has bent structure due to the presence of lone pairs on tin.
$C_2{H}_2$ is linear because carbon is sp hybridized with $2$ bond pairs.
