Regarding the structure of SO2 and SeO2 which of the

following is true -

A

The gaseous SO2 and SeO2 have same V-shaped molecule both in solid and gas phase

B

At room temperature both SO2 and SeO2 are solids.

C

In the solid phase the structure of SO2 is V-shaped discrete molecule but SeO2 is cyclic trimeric

D

In solid phase the structure of SO2 is V-shaped discrete molecule but SeO2 has linear polymeric chain

Answer

In solid phase the structure of SO2 is V-shaped discrete molecule but SeO2 has linear polymeric chain

Explanation

Solution

The gaseous SO2 and solid SO2 both are V-shaped discrete molecule. SeO2 is solid at room temperature and solid SeO2 in polymerised by infinite chain.

Non planar infinite chain.
