$HgCl_2$

Vedclass · Answer

(A) The structure of $CO_2$ is linear with $sp$ hybridization at the central carbon atom.$HgCl_2$ also has a linear structure with $sp$ hybridization at the central mercury atom.$H_2O$ has a bent shape ($sp^3$ hybridization).$SnCl_2$ has a bent shape ($sp^2$ hybridization).$NO_2^-$ has a bent shape ($sp^2$ hybridization).Therefore,$HgCl_2$ is isostructural with $CO_2$.

Which of the following is isostructural with $CO_2$?
