III. \(\text{BH}_4^-\), \(\text{NH}_4^+\)
IV, \(\text{PF}_6^-\), \(\text{SF}_6\)
The correct option is
Show Hint
Isostructural molecules have the same molecular geometry and bond angles, though the atoms or ions involved may differ.

Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
- \(\text{SiF}_4\) and \(\text{SF}_4\) are not isostructural because the central atoms in these molecules have different numbers of valence electrons and bond angles.
- \(\text{IO}_3^-\) and \(\text{XeO}_3\) are isostructural as both have a similar arrangement of atoms with the central atom bonded to three oxygen atoms in a trigonal pyramidal geometry.
- \(\text{BF}_4^-\) and \(\text{NH}_4^+\) are isostructural because both have a tetrahedral geometry.
- \(\text{PF}_6^-\) and \(\text{SF}_6\) are isostructural as both are octahedral in shape.
Thus, the correct answer is II, III, IV only.
