    Which species does not exist?

    A)  \[{{(SiC{{l}_{6}})}^{2-}}\]             

    B)         \[CCl_{6}^{2-}\]              

    C)                         \[GeCl_{6}^{2-}\]           

    D)         \[AlCl_{4}^{-}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    \[CCl_{6}^{2-}\] does not exist. The reason is that carbon has no d-orbital, hence it cannot combine with 6 chlorine-atoms. All others (Si, Ge and Al) have d-orbital, hence form the given ions.
