Q57 / 180 · NEET 2013 (All India) · Chemistry

$\mathrm{XeF}_2$ is isostructural with

  • A
    $\mathrm{TeF}_2$
  • Correct answer
    B
    $\mathrm{ICl}_2^{-}$
  • C
    $\mathrm{SbCl}_3$
  • D
    $\mathrm{BaCl}_2$

Solution

Species having the same number of bond pairs and lone pairs are isostructural (have same structure). Figure
Thus, $\mathrm{XeF}_2$, is isostructural with $\mathrm{CCl}_2^{-}$and $\mathrm{BaCl}_2$.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
