Match List I with List II. Choose the correct answer from the options given below :
- A-I, B-II, C-IV, D-III
- A-IV, B-III, C-I, D-II
- A-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II
- A-II, B-I, C-III, D-IV
Answer
(2) A-IV, B-III, C-I, D-II
Solution
Shape from (bond pairs + lone pairs) on the central atom (VSEPR):
A. BrF5: 5 bp + 1 lp (sp3d2) ⇒ square pyramidal (IV)
B. H2O: 2 bp + 2 lp (sp3) ⇒ bent (III)
C. ClF3: 3 bp + 2 lp (sp3d) ⇒ T-shape (I)
D. SF4: 4 bp + 1 lp (sp3d) ⇒ see-saw (II)
∴ A-IV, B-III, C-I, D-II
Answer: (2)
