Vedclass · Answer

(A) To determine the shape,we use the $VSEPR$ theory based on hybridization and lone pairs:$1$. $BeCl_2$ ($sp$ hybridization,$0$ lone pairs) is linear.$2$. $CO_2$ ($sp$ hybridization,$0$ lone pairs) is linear.$3$. $XeF_2$ ($sp^3d$ hybridization,$3$ lone pairs) is linear.$4$. $ICl_2^-$ ($sp^3d$ hybridization,$3$ lone pairs) is linear.Both pairs $(BeCl_2, CO_2)$ and $(XeF_2, ICl_2^-)$ have identical linear shapes. Given the standard options provided in typical chemistry problems of this type,$BeCl_2$ and $CO_2$ are the most common examples of linear molecules.
