Because both tin and carbon are members of Group 4A(14), they form structurally similar compounds. However, tin exhibits a greater variety of structures because it forms several ionic species. Predict the shapes and ideal bond angles, including any deviations, for the following:(a) Sn(CH3)2 (b) SnCl3- (c) Sn(CH3)4 (d) SnF5- (e) SnF62-
