Professor PC Thomas Classes · Answer

$(\mathrm{a}, \mathrm{c}): \mathrm{HgCl}_{2}$ and $\mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{2}$ are linear molecules like $\mathrm{CO}_{2}$. In all of them we find $s p$-hybridisation. $\mathrm{SnCl}_{2}$ is trigonal ( $s p^{2}$-hybridisation) and $\mathrm{NO}_{2}$ is $V$-shaped ( $s p^{2}$ - hybridisation).\
