Chemical Bonding And Molecular Structure Question 254
Question: Which of the following is non-linear molecule [DCE 2003]
Options:
A) $ CO_3 $
B) $ CO_2 $
C) $ CS_2 $
D) $ BeCl_2 $
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: A
Solution:
Except $ CO_3 $ other choice $ CO_2,CS_2 $ and $ BeCl_2 $ have $ sp- $ hybridization and shows the linear structure while $ CO_3 $ have $ sp^{3} $ hybridization and show the non linear structure because $ sp^{3} $ generate tetrahedral structure.
