Question

Find the pair of species having the same shape but different hybridization

• A. $S{O}_3,C{O}_3^{2-}$
• B. $N{O}_2^{-},Cl{O}_2^{-}$
• C. $BeC{l}_2,HCN$
• D. $Xe{F}_2,SnC{l}_2$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $N{O}_2^{-},Cl{O}_2^{-}$

$N{o}_4^{-}$ has $S{P}^2$ hybridisation while $Cl{o}_2^{-}$ has $S{P}^3$ hybridisation but shape of both is bert or angular.
