Neet Solved Paper 2013 Question 24
Question: $ Xe{F_2} $ is structural with
Options:
A) $ Te{F_2} $
B) $ lCl_2^{-} $
C) $ SbCl _3 $
D) $ BaC{l_2} $
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: B
Solution:
Species having the same number of bond pairs and lone pairs are is structural (have same structure).
Species lp + bp Structure
$ XeF _2 $ $ 4lp+2bp $ Linear
$ TeF _2 $ $ 2lp+2bp $ Angular or V-shape
$ lCl_2^{-} $ $ 4lp+2bp $ Linear
$ BaCl _2 $ $ 0lp+2bp $ Cl-Ba-Cl (linear)
Thus, $ XeF _2, $ , is structural with $ ICl_2^{-} $ and $ BaCl _2. $
