Which of the following is not tetrahedral ?

A

`SCl_4`

B

`SO_4^(2-)`

C

`Ni(CO)_4`

D

`NiCl_4^(2-)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`SCl_4 :`
`H = 1/2 (V + M - C + A) `
`H = 1/2(6 + 4 - 0 + 0) = 5`
`rArr sp^3 d` hybridization with one lone pair.
`rArr` See – saw structure.

Which of the following is/are tetrahedral ?

Hybridisation is a theoretical concept, as state of hybridisation can not be detected ever the spectroscopically: unlike intermediates or transition state in various reactions but it corrects the predictions which are based on overlapping of pure atomic orbitals. VSEPR theory predicts precisely shape and bond angle in a given molecule. Which of the following is tetrahedral in shape?

Which of the following is tetrahedral and paramagnetic ? MnO_(4)^(-), CrO_(4)^(--), Cr_(2)O_(7)^(2-), MnO_(4)^(--), CIO_(4)^(-), CIO_(3)^(-), NO_(2), N_(2)O_(4) [If your answer is 5 so write 0005.]
