Match the following List-I (Molecule) List - II (Shape) A. XeF ₄ I. Square pyramid, B. ClF ₃ II. Pentagonal bipyramidal C. BrF ₅ III. Square planar D. IF ₇ IV. Bent T-Shape

Options

  1. AA-III; B-II; C-I; D-IV
  2. BA-III; B-II; C-IV; D-I
  3. CA-III; B-IV; C-I; D-II
  4. DA-IV; B-II; C-I; D-III

Correct answer

C. A-III; B-IV; C-I; D-II

Step-by-step solution

XeF ₄ is square planar in shape due to four bond pairs and two lone pairs that form an octahedral geometry. ClF ₃ is Bent T-shaped due to three bond pairs and two lone pairs around the central Cl atom that together form a trigonal bipyramidal geometry with the two lone pairs occupying the equatorial positions. BrF ₅ is square pyramidal in shape due to five bond pairs and one lone pair around Br with an octahedral geometry. IF ₇ is pentagonal bipyramidal due to seven bond pairs that a range themselves in this positi
