Which of the following pairs of compounds is isoelectronic and isostructural?
- A
- B
- C
- D
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
1. Isoelectronic: Same number of valence electrons.Valence electrons in .Valence electrons in .2. Isostructural: Same shape.Both and have 2 bond pairs and 3 lone pairs on the central atom. This leads to a hybridization and a linear molecular geometry.
