Match List I with List II. List I List II A XeF₄ 1 See-saw B SF₄ 2 Square planar C ClF₃ 3 Linear D XeF₂ 4 T-shaped Choose the correct answer from the options given below.

Step-by-step solution

For XeF₄ : The central atom Xe has 8 valence electrons. It forms 4 sigma bonds with F atoms and has 2 lone pairs. The steric number is 6 , corresponding to sp^3d^2 hybridization. The shape is square planar. (A 2) For SF₄ : The central atom S has 6 valence electrons. It forms 4 sigma bonds with F atoms and has 1 lone pair. The steric number is 5 , corresponding to sp^3d hybridization. The shape is see-saw. (B 1) For ClF₃ : The central atom Cl has 7 valence electrons. It forms 3 sigma bonds with F atoms and has 2 lon
