Match List I with List II. Choose the correct answer from the options given below :
- (A)-(I), (B)-(IV), (C)-(III), (D)-(II)
- (A)-(IV), (B)-(I), (C)-(II), (D)-(III)
- (A)-(I), (B)-(III), (C)-(II), (D)-(IV)
- (A)-(IV), (B)-(III), (C)-(II), (D)-(I)
Answer
(2) (A)-(IV), (B)-(I), (C)-(II), (D)-(III)
Solution
VSEPR: count bond pairs (bp) and lone pairs (lp) on the central atom.
(A) ICl: diatomic ⇒ Linear ⇒ (A)-(IV)
(B) ICl3: 3 bp + 2 lp (sp3d) ⇒ T-shape ⇒ (B)-(I)
(C) ClF5: 5 bp + 1 lp (sp3d2) ⇒ Square pyramidal ⇒ (C)-(II)
(D) IF7: 7 bp + 0 lp (sp3d3) ⇒ Pentagonal bipyramidal ⇒ (D)-(III)
Answer: (2)
