Solution

The correct options are
B $H g C l_{2}$
D $Z n I_{2}$
Isostructural chemical compounds have similar chemical structures.Compounds which are isoelectronic usually have similar chemical structures. both $H g C l_{2}$ , $Z n I_{2}$ (both are linear) have same number of valence electrons,so they are isostructural.
But $S n C l_{2}$ and $S C l_{2}$ have different structures due to the difference in their valence electrons.
Hence options B & D are correct.
