Vedclass · Answer

(D) In $SnCl_2$,the central $Sn$ atom is $sp^2$ hybridized with one lone pair,resulting in an angular (bent) shape.In $PbCl_2$,the structure is also angular due to the presence of a lone pair on the $Pb$ atom.In $SO_2$,the $S$ atom is $sp^2$ hybridized with one lone pair,leading to a bent shape.In $XeF_2$,the $Xe$ atom undergoes $sp^3d$ hybridization and possesses three lone pairs in the equatorial positions,which results in a linear molecular geometry.
