Asseration: `SCl_(4)`, does not havea tetrahedral structure.
Reason: `Se` in `SeCl_(4)` has two lone pairs.

A

If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the true explanation of the asseraton.

B

If both assertion and reason are true and reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

C

If assertion is true bit reason is false.

D

If assertion is false but reason is true.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`SeCl_(4)` possess see saw geometry, which can be regarded as a distored trigonal bipyramidal structure laving one lone pair `(lp)` of electrons in the basal position of the trigonal bipyramidal. See-saw geometry of `SeCl_(4)` molecules arises due to the `sp^(3)d` hydridisation of the central atom. the distortion in shape is due to the presence of one lone pair of electrons.
