MHT CET 2025 Chemistry question

Identify the correct statement regarding geometry and lone pair of electrons present in and

(A)Both have same geometry with two lone pair of electrons each.
(B)Both have different geometry with one lone pair of electrons each.
(C)Both have same geometry with no lone pair of electrons each.Correct
(D)Both have different geometry with no lone pair of electrons each.

Answer: (C)

Solution

In the central carbon has 4 valence electrons, all used in four C-H bonds: 4 bond pairs, 0 lone pairs, hybridisation, tetrahedral shape. In silicon (4 valence electrons) forms four Si-Cl bonds: 4 bond pairs, 0 lone pairs, ,
