`HgCl_(2)` is a solid containing

A

An angular `Cl - Hg - Cl` molecule

B

A linear Cl - Hg - Cl molecule

C

A T - shaped Cl - Hg - Cl molecule

D

A pyramidal Cl - Hg - Cl molecule

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Hg has 2 electrons in its valence shell and it forms `2 sigma` bonds in `HgCl_2` molecule. So it.s hybridization is sp type.
