Match List - I with List-II List I (Molecule) List II (Shape) A. BrF _ 5 i. T-shape B. H _ 2 O ii. See saw C. ClF _ 3

Options

  1. A(A)-I, (B)-II, (C)-IV, (D)-III
  2. B(A) -II, (B)-I, (C)-III, (D)-IV
  3. C(A)-III, (B)-IV, (C)-I, (D)-II
  4. D(A)-IV, (B)-III, (C)-I, (D)-II

Correct answer

D. (A)-IV, (B)-III, (C)-I, (D)-II

Step-by-step solution

(A) The steric number of the central Bromine atom is =5= 5 bond pairs++one lone pair =6= 6. Hence the shape is square pyramidal structure and the hybridisation is sp3d2{sp}^{3}{d}^{2}.

(B) H2O{H}_{2}O molecular geometry is bent because it has two bound atoms and two lone pairs on oxygen, the central atom. The two lone pairs on the oxygen atom push the two hydrogen atoms down further away from the oxygen atom and closer to each other, creating a bent shape and 104.5104 . 5 degrees angle between the two HH atoms.

(C) The molecular geometry of ClF3{ClF}_{3} is said to be T-shaped. ClF3{ClF}_{3} acquires such a shape because two lone pairs take up equatorial positions as they require more space and greater repulsions. They are arranged in a trigonal bipyramidal shape with 33 bonds and 22 lone pairs.

(D) SF4{SF}_{4} has an sp3d{sp}^{3}d type of hybridisation. In a molecule of SF4{SF}_{4}, each SS atom is bonded to four fluorine atoms.
