Chemical Bonding And Molecular Structure Question 83
Question: Which of the following is non-linear molecule [DCE 2003]
Options:
A) $ CO_3 $
B) $ CO_2 $
C) $ CS_2 $
D) $ BeCl_2 $
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: A
Solution:
Except $ CO_3^{2-} $, other choices $ CO_2, CS_2 $ and $ BeCl_2 $ have $ sp $ hybridization and show the linear structure while $ CO_3^{2-} $ have $ sp^3 $ hybridization and show the non linear structure because $ sp^3 $ generate tetrahedral structure.
