(a) CO32-: 6+24+2=32;sp2; trigonal planar NO3-: 7+24+1=32;sp2; trigonal planar These are isoelectronic as well as isostructural. (b) ClO3-:17+24+1=42;sp3, trigonal pyramidal CO32-: 6+24+2=32;sp2, trigonal planar These are neither isoelectronic nor isostructural (c) SO32-:16+24+2=42;sp3, trigonal pyramidal NO3-: 7+24+1=32;sp2, trigonal planar These are neither isoelectronic nor isostructural (d) ClO3-:17+24+1=42;sp3 , trigonal pyramidal SO32-:16+24+2=42;sp3, trigonal pyramidal These are also isoelectronic as well as isostructural.NOTE : first and fourth options are correct
