Chapter 22, Problem 22E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

To identify the species which has a linear structure ${\text{ClF}}_{\text{2}}{}^{\text{+}}{\text{, IBr}}^{-}\text{,}{\text{OCl}}_{\text{2}}\text{,}{\text{and SF}}_{\text{4}}$ and the species has same structure.

Concept introduction:

In linear shapes molecules, electron pair force bonds to be $180°$ from each other and in the bent shape two pairs of unshared electrons push the two bonds down.
