(i) CO_{3}^{2-}, NO^{-}_{3}

(ii) ClO_{3}^{-} , CO_{3}^{2-}

(iii) SO_{3}^{2-},NO^{-}_{3}

(iv) ClO^{-}_{3} ,SO_{3}^{2-}

Answers (1)

The answer is the option (i). The number of electrons in both the isoelectronic species is 32 and they exhibit sp^{2} hybridisation and thus trigonal planar structure.
