The correct Answer is:
To determine which pair of species has different hybridization but the same shape, we will analyze each option provided in the question step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze Option A (BeCl2 and CO2) 1. **BeCl2**: - Beryllium (Be) has 2 valence electrons and forms 2 sigma bonds with 2 chlorine (Cl) atoms. - The shape of BeCl2 is linear. - Hybridization: sp. 2. **CO2**: - Carbon (C) has 4 valence electrons and forms 2 double bonds (2 sigma and 2 pi bonds) with 2 oxygen (O) atoms. - The shape of CO2 is also linear. - Hybridization: sp. **Conclusion for Option A**: Both BeCl2 and CO2 have the same shape (linear) and the same hybridization (sp). This option does not satisfy the condition. ### Step 2: Analyze Option B (SO2 and CO2) 1. **SO2**: - Sulfur (S) has 6 valence electrons and forms 2 sigma bonds with 2 oxygen atoms, and has 1 lone pair. - The shape of SO2 is bent. - Hybridization: sp2. 2. **CO2**: - As analyzed before, CO2 has a linear shape and sp hybridization. **Conclusion for Option B**: SO2 has a bent shape and sp2 hybridization, while CO2 has a linear shape and sp hybridization. This option does not satisfy the condition. ### Step 3: Analyze Option C (SO2 and I3^-) 1. **SO2**: - As analyzed before, SO2 has a bent shape and sp2 hybridization. 2. **I3^-**: - Iodine (I) has 7 valence electrons, and with a negative charge, it has 8 electrons. It forms 2 sigma bonds with 2 iodine atoms and has 3 lone pairs. - The shape of I3^- is linear (due to the arrangement of the lone pairs). - Hybridization: sp3. **Conclusion for Option C**: SO2 has a bent shape and sp2 hybridization, while I3^- has a linear shape and sp3 hybridization. This option does not satisfy the condition. ### Step 4: Analyze Option D (ICl2^- and BeH2) 1. **ICl2^-**: - Iodine (I) has 7 valence electrons, and with a negative charge, it has 8 electrons. It forms 2 sigma bonds with 2 chlorine atoms and has 3 lone pairs. - The geometry is trigonal bipyramidal, but the shape is linear due to the arrangement of the lone pairs. - Hybridization: sp3d. 2. **BeH2**: - Beryllium (Be) has 2 valence electrons and forms 2 sigma bonds with 2 hydrogen (H) atoms. - The shape of BeH2 is linear. - Hybridization: sp. **Conclusion for Option D**: ICl2^- has a linear shape and sp3d hybridization, while BeH2 has a linear shape and sp hybridization. This option satisfies the condition of different hybridization but the same shape. ### Final Conclusion The pairs of species that have different hybridization but the same shape are found in **Option D (ICl2^- and BeH2)**. ---
