Q. Pair of species having identical shapes for molecules is
A) $CF_{4},SF_{4}$
B) $BF_{3},PCl_{3}$
C) $XeF_{2},\ CO_{2}$
D) $PF_{5},IF_{7}$
Explanation
(c)
$CF_{4},SF_{4}$
[image:4_image197.emf]
$\therefore$ Both have different structure.
$BF_{3},PCl_{3}$
[image:4_image198.emf]
$\therefore$ Both have different structure.
$XeF_{2},\ CO_{2}$
[image:4_image199.emf]
$\therefore$ Both have different structure.
$PF_{5},IF_{7}$
[image:4_image200.emf]
$\because$ Both have linear structure.
$\therefore$ They have same structure.
