Match List I with List II Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
- A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II
- A-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II
- A-IV, B-III, C-I, D-II
- A-II, B-I, C-IV, D-III
Answer
(2) A-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II
Solution
Shape follows from the hybrid orbitals (no lone pairs):
(A): sp3, 4 orbitals ⇒ (A) is III (tetrahedral)
(B): dsp2, 4 orbitals in one plane ⇒ (B) is IV (square planar)
(C): sp3d, 5 orbitals ⇒ (C) is I (trigonal bipyramidal)
(D): sp3d2, 6 orbitals ⇒ (D) is II (octahedral)
Answer: (2)
