Q. In which pair of species, both species do have the similar geometry?
A) $CO_{2},SO_{2}\$
B) $NH_{3},\ BH_{3}$
C) ${CO}_{3}^{2 -},{SO}_{3}^{2 -}$
D) ${SO}_{4}^{2 -},{ClO}_{4}^{-}$
Explanation
(d)
Species having same hybridisation show similar geometry.
${SO}_{4}^{2 -}:$Hybridisation of S$\ \longrightarrow sp^{3}$
${ClO}_{4}^{-}:$Hybridisation of Cl$\ \longrightarrow sp^{3}$
