• A. both $BH_2^+$ and $NH_2^+$ are trigonal planar
• B. $BH_2^+$ is lincar and $NH_2^+$ is trigonal planar
• C. $BH_2^+$ is trigonal planar and $NH_2^+$ is linear
• D. both $BH_2^+$ and $NH_2^+$ are linear

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

The correct option is (B): $BH_2^+$ is lincar and $NH_2^+$ is trigonal planar
