In which of the following pairs the two species are not isostructural-

A

`PCl_(4)^(+) and SiCl_(4)`

B

`PF_(5) and BrF_(5)`

C

`AlF_(6)^(3-) and SF_(6)`

D

`CO_(3)^(2-) and NO_(3)^(-)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

In molecule `PF_(5),H=(1)/(2)[5+5-0+0]=5`. Hybridisation of central atom(P), `sp^(3)d`. Number of lone pairs in the central atom (P): 0. shape of the molecule, trigonal bypyramidal.
for `BrF_(5)` hybridisation of central
atom (Br), `sp^(3)d^(2)`. number of lone pairs in the central atom (Br), 1 shape of the molecule: square pyramidal.
