The atomic number of Sn is 50. The shape of gaseous `SnCl_2` molecule is

A

`Cl-Sn-Cl `

B

C

D

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
In `SnCl_(2), Sn ` is `sp^(2)`-hybridised with one lone pair of electron. It has two bond pairs and two lone pair of electrons.
Therefore , its geometry is trigonal planar and shape would be angular and structure is as shown below.
