Which of the following attain the linear structure:

(i) BeCl₂

(ii) NCO⁺

(iii) NO₂

(iv) CS₂

This is a Multiple Choice Questions as classified in NCERT Exemplar

Ans: Option (i) and (iv)

Beryllium chloride BeCl₂ does have the presence of any lone pair of electrons in its structure. So, it will attain a linear structure.

     Carbon disulphide CS₂ does not have any lone pair of electron on carbon atom. Thus, it will attain a linear structure.

The structures of NO₂ and NCO⁺ has a lone pair of electron on nitrogen atom thus it will form a bent shape rather than a linear shape.
