Chemistry Question on Chemical bonding and molecular structure
Out of N2O,SO2,I3+,I3−,H2O,NO2−andN3−the linear species are
A
NO2−,I3+,H2O
B
N2O,I3+,N3−
C
N2O,I3−,N3−
D
N3−,I3+,SO2
Answer
N2O,I3−,N3−
Explanation
Solution
N2O;N−=N+=O
I3−: With 2bp and 3/p around central atom it is linear.
N3−: With 2bp (stereoactive pairs) around the central atom, it
is linear
