Match the interhalogen compounds of column I with the geometry in column II and assign the correct code.
Column I Column II
a. XX′{XX}^{′} (i) T-shape
b. XX3′{XX}_{3}^{′} (ii) Pentagonal bipyramidal
c. XX5′{XX}_{5}^{′} (iii) Linear
d. XX7′{XX}_{7}^{′} (iv) Square – pyramidal
(v) Tetrahedral

Options

  1. A{abc(iii)(iv)(i)\begin{cases}a & b & c \\ \left(iii\right) & \left(iv\right) & \left(i\right)\end{cases}d(ii)\begin{array}{ll}d \\ \left(ii\right)\end{array}$$
  2. B{abc(iii)(i)(iv)\begin{cases}a & b & c \\ \left(iii\right) & ( i ) & \left(iv\right)\end{cases}d(ii)\begin{array}{ll}d \\ \left(ii\right)\end{array}$$
  3. C{abc(v)(iv)(iii)\begin{cases}a & b & c \\ \left(v\right) & \left(iv\right) & \left(iii\right)\end{cases}d(ii)\begin{array}{ll}d \\ \left(ii\right)\end{array}$$
  4. D{abc(iv)(iii)(ii)\begin{cases}a & b & c \\ \left(iv\right) & \left(iii\right) & \left(ii\right)\end{cases}d(i)\begin{array}{ll}d \\ \left(i\right)\end{array}$$

Correct answer

B. {abc(iii)(i)(iv)\begin{cases}a & b & c \\ \left(iii\right) & ( i ) & \left(iv\right)\end{cases}d(ii)\begin{array}{ll}d \\ \left(ii\right)\end{array}$$
