Which of the following exists as a cyclic tetramer in the solid state?

A

`SO_(3)`

B

`SeO_(3)`

C

`TeO_(3)`

D

`PoO_(3)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
2

`SO_(3)` in the gas phase exists as planar triangular molecules species.In the solid state, `SO_(3)` exist in serveral modification having a linear cyclic trimetric or a polymeric chain structure.On the other hand ,`SeO_(3)` exists as a cyclic tetramer `(Se_(4)O_(12))` in the solid state`TeO_(3)` is also a solid with a network structure in which `TeO_(6)` octahedral share all vetices.
