Question:
The shape of SCN¯ is
The shape of SCN¯ is
Updated On: Jan 10, 2025
- linear.
- bent.
pyramidal.
- trigonal planar.
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
The shape of the thiocyanate ion (SCN−) is linear. This is because the ion consists of two atoms connected by a triple bond, and there are no lone pairs of electrons on either atom. The central carbon atom in SCN− is sp hybridized, resulting in a linear geometry.
Thus, the correct answer is (A) linear.
