Q. Which of the following is not isostructural with $SiCl_4$ ?

AIPMTAIPMT 2006Chemical Bonding and Molecular Structure

Solution:

$SCl_4$ is not isostructural with $SiCl_4$ because shows square planar structure due to involvement of repulsion between lone pair and bond pair of electrons.
$SO_4^{2-}$ shows tetrahedral structure due to $sp^3$ hybridisation.
$PO_4^{3-}$ shows tetrahedral structure due to $sp^3$ hybridisation.
$NH_4^+$ shows tetrahedral structure due to $sp^3$ hybridisation.
