(i) Structure of $$SiC{l_4}$$
Structure of $$PCl_4^ + $$
(ii) Diamond and silicon carbide $$(SiC),$$ both are isostructural because their central atom is $$s{p^3}$$ hybridised and both have tetrahedral arrangement.
(iii) Structure of $$N{H_3}$$
Structure of $$P{H_3}$$
Both $$N{H_3}$$ and $$P{H_3}$$ have $$s{p^3}$$ geometry.
(iv) $$Xe{F_4}$$ has $$s{p^3}{d^2}$$ hybridisation while $$Xe{O_4}$$ has $$s{p^3}$$ hybridisation.
Structure of $$Xe{F_4}$$
Structure of $$Xe{O_4}$$
Hence, $$Xe{F_4}$$ and $$Xe{O_4}$$ are not isostructural.

In nitroprusside ion, the iron and $$NO$$ exist as $$F{e^{2 + }}$$ and $$N{O^ + }$$ rather than $$F{e^{3 + }}$$ and $$NO.$$ These forms can be differentiated by
A
estimating the concentration of iron.
B
measuring the concentration of $$C{N^ - }.$$
C
measuring the solid state magnetic moment.
D
thermally decomposing the compound.
Answer :
measuring the solid state magnetic moment.
The nitroprusside ion is $${\left[ {Fe{{\left( {CN} \right)}_6}N{O^ + }} \right]^{2 - }}.$$
The magnetic moment measurements reveal the presence of 4 unpaired electrons in $$Fe$$ which must be then in $$F{e^{2 + }}\left( {3{d^6}} \right)$$ and not $$F{e^{3 + }}\left( {3{d^5}} \right)$$
