Structure Of Atom

Step 1: Analyzing the structure of $SnCl_2$ and $PbCl_2$ .
Both

SnCl_2

and

PbCl_2

are in the same group of the periodic table and exhibit similar bonding patterns. Both molecules have a bent structure (V-shaped), with a lone pair of electrons on the central atom.
Step 2: Checking other options.
Option (1)

HgCl_2%2C%20%5C%2C%20SO_2

has different structures.

HgCl_2

is linear, while

SO_2

is bent.
Option (3)

SF_4%2C%20%5C%2C%20XeF_4

have different structures.

SF_4

is seesaw-shaped, and

XeF_4

is square planar.
Option (4)

NH_3%2C%20%5C%2C%20SO_3

have different structures.

NH_3

is trigonal pyramidal, and

SO_3

is trigonal planar.
Step 3: Conclusion.
The correct answer is option (2), where both

SnCl_2

and

PbCl_2

are isostructural.
