Solution

The correct option is B SO3 ,SO32
SO3 and SO23 are not isostructural species. They are plane triangular and tetrahedral respectively. SO3 contains 3 bonding domains and zero lone pairs of electrons. Hence, it has plane traingular geometry. SO23 has 4 bonding domains and zero lone pairs of electrons. Hence, it is tetrahedral geometry.
