Match List-I with List-II. Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
- (a)-(iv), (b)-(i), (c)-(ii), (d)-(iii)
- (a)-(iii), (b)-(i), (c)-(ii), (d)-(iv)
- (a)-(i), (b)-(ii), (c)-(iv), (d)-(iii)
- (a)-(ii), (b)-(iii), (c)-(iv), (d)-(i)
Answer
(1) (a)-(iv), (b)-(i), (c)-(ii), (d)-(iii)
Solution
As per NCERT:
(a) MgH2 is a saline (ionic) hydride of an s-block element — (iv).
(b) GeH4 (group 14) has exactly the required number of electrons to write a conventional Lewis structure — electron precise (i).
(c) B2H6 (group 13) has too few electrons for a conventional Lewis structure — electron deficient (ii).
(d) HF (group 17) has lone pairs of electrons on F — electron rich (iii).
∴ (a)-(iv), (b)-(i), (c)-(ii), (d)-(iii)
Answer: (1)
