Match List I (Molecule/Ion) with List II (Shape) :

List IList II
ASF4\mathrm{SF}_41Square planar
BXeF4\mathrm{XeF}_42Linear
CI3−\mathrm{I}_3^-3Bent
DH2O\mathrm{H}_2\mathrm{O}4See-saw

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Options

  1. AA-1, B-4, C-2, D-3
  2. BA-4, B-1, C-3, D-2
  3. CA-4, B-1, C-2, D-3
  4. DA-2, B-1, C-4, D-3

Correct answer

C. A-4, B-1, C-2, D-3

Step-by-step solution

For SF4\mathrm{SF}_4, the central atom S\mathrm{S} has 66 valence electrons. It forms 44 bond pairs and has 11 lone pair. The hybridization is sp3dsp^3d and the shape is see-saw.

For XeF4\mathrm{XeF}_4, the central atom Xe\mathrm{Xe} has 88 valence electrons. It forms 44 bond pairs and has 22 lone pairs. The hybridization is sp3d2sp^3d^2 and the shape is square planar.

For I3−\mathrm{I}_3^-, the central atom I\mathrm{I} has 77 valence electrons plus 11 from the negative charge, giving 88 electrons. It forms 22 bond pairs and has 33 lone pairs. The hybridization is sp3dsp^3d and the shape is linear.

For H2O\mathrm{H}_2\mathrm{O}, the central atom O\mathrm{O} has 66 valence electrons. It forms 22 bond pairs and has 22 lone pairs. The hybridization is sp3sp^3 and the shape is bent.

Thus, the correct matching is A-4, B-1, C-2, D-3.

Answer: A-4, B-1, C-2, D-3
