Chemical Bonding And Molecular Structure Question 10

Question 10 - 31 January - Shift 2

Amongst the following, the number of species having the linear shape is

$XeF_2, I_3^{+}, C_3 O_2, I_3^{-}, CO_2, SO_2, BeCl$ and $BCl_2^{\Theta}$

Show Answer

Answer: (5)

Solution:

Formula: Geomatry and shape

(i)

(ii) $Cl-Be-Cl$

(iii) $I_3^{-}[\overbraceI {I} \odot]^{-}$

(iv) $XeF_2$

(v)

$ \text{ V - Shape } $

(vi) $CO_2 \quad O=C=O \quad$ (vii $C_3 O_2(O=C=C=C=O)$
