Among the following the pair in which the two species are not isostructural is

A

`BH_4^(-) and NH_4^(+)`

B

`PF_6^(-) and SF_6`

C

`SiF_4 and SF_4`

D

`IO_3^(-) and XeO_3`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

`SiF_4` has symmetrical tetrahedral shape which is due to `sp^3` hybridization of the central sulphur atom in its excited state configuration. `SF_4` has distorted tetrahedral or Sea- Saw geometry which arise due to `sp^3 d` hybridization of central sulphur atom and due to the presence of lone pair of electron in one of the equatorial hybrid orbital.
