Q30 / 160 · TS EAMCET 2022 (18 Jul Shift 2) · Chemistry
The linear molecule among the following is
- A
- B
- C
- Correct answerD
Solution
Gaseous is hybridised and has one lone pair of electrons. Thus, it has angular shape. has also angular shape like . is hybridized with a bent shape due to the presence of lone pair. In , xenon undergoes hybridisation and it has three lone pairs, hence the shape is linear.
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
