Chapter 11, Problem 13E

Indicate which of the following molecules and ions are linear, which are planar, and which are neither. Then propose hybridization schemes for central atoms. (a) ${\text{Cl}}_{\text{2}}{\text{C=CCl}}_{\text{2}}$ ; (b) $\text{N}\equiv \text{C-C}\equiv \text{N}$ ; (c) ${\text{F}}_{\text{2}}\text{C-C}\equiv \text{N}$ ; (d) ${[\text{S}-\text{C}\equiv \text{N}]}^{-}$ .
