The shape of `NH_2^(-)` is like that of

A

`BeCl_2`

B

`SnCl_2`

C

`NO_2^(+)`

D

`CS_2`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Steric number (SN) of `NH_2^(-)` is `2+2=4`. Therefore, it is angular. SN of `BeCl_2` is `2+0=2`. Therefore, it is linear. SN of `SnCl_2` is `2+1=3`. Therefore, it is angular. SN of `NO_2^(+)` is `2+0=2`. Therefore, it is linear. SN of `CS_2` is `2+0=2`. Therefore, it is linear.
