Chemical Bonding And Molecular Structure Question 474
Question: Among the following species identify the isostructural pairs: $ NF_3,NO_3^{-},BF_3H_3{O^{+}},HN_3 $
Options:
A) $ [NF_3,NO_3^{-},] $ and $ [BF_3,H_3{O^{+}}] $
B) $ [NF_3,HN_3] $ and $ [NO_3^{-},BF_3] $
C) $ [NF_3,H_3{O^{+}}] $ and $ [NO_3^{-},BF_3] $
D) $ [NF_3,H_3{O^{+}}] $ and $ [HN_3,BF_3] $
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
- $ NF_3 $ and $ H_3{O^{+}} $ have $ sp^{3} $ hybridisation; $ NO_3^{-} $ and $ BF_3 $ have $ sp^{2} $ hybridisation.
