Question

A tin chloride Q undergoes the following reactions (not balanced) Q + C l - → X Q + M e 3 N → Y Q + C u C l 2 → Z + C u C l X is a monoanion having pyramidal geometry. Both Y and Z are neutral compounds. Choose the correct option(s).

TestHub · Accepted Answer

Sn has vacant d orbitals in tin(II)chloride which can be used to accommodate electron pairs and form coordinate bond.

LP = Lone pairs

X is mono anion with ${sp}^{3}$ hybridisation and It has trigonal pyramidal geometry.

The above reaction is a Lewis acid-base reaction. The adduct Y formed is a coordination compound, and it is a neutral compound.

The central atom in Z is tin, its oxidation state is +4, and it has no lone pair electrons. Z is a neutral compound.
