Vedclass · Answer

(C) $1$. $CH_4$ and $SiH_4$: Both have $sp^3$ hybridization and tetrahedral geometry.$2$. $As_4O_{10}$ and $P_4O_{10}$: Both have similar cage-like structures where each central atom is tetrahedral.$3$. $CO_2$ and $SiO_2$: $CO_2$ is a discrete molecule with $sp$ hybridization (linear geometry),whereas $SiO_2$ is a giant covalent network structure where each $Si$ atom is $sp^3$ hybridized (tetrahedral geometry).$4$. $NO_2$ and $ClO_2$: Both are bent molecules due to the presence of a lone pair on the central atom.Therefore,the pair with different geometries is $CO_2$ and $SiO_2$.

In which of the following pairs is the geometry around the central atom not the same?
