JEE Advanced 2024 — Paper 1 — Question 44

Based on VSEPR model, match the xenon compounds given in List-I with the corresponding geometries and the number of lone pairs on xenon given in List-II and choose the correct option

LIST-ILIST-II
(P)(\mathrm{P}) XeF2\mathrm{XeF}_{2}1.Trigonal bipyramidal and two lone pair of electrons
(Q)(\mathrm{Q}) XeF4\mathrm{XeF}_{4}2.Tetrahedral and one lone pair of electrons
(R)(\mathrm{R}) XeO3\mathrm{XeO}_{3}3. Octahedral and two lone pair of electrons
(S)(\mathrm{S}) XeO3 F2\mathrm{XeO}_{3} \mathrm{~F}_{2}4. Trigonal bipyramidal and no lone pair of electrons
5.Trigonal bipyramidal and three lone pair of electrons
  1. Option A:

    (P) →\rightarrow (5), (Q) →\rightarrow (2), (R) →\rightarrow (3), (S) →\rightarrow (1)

  2. Option B:

    (P) →\rightarrow (5), (Q) →\rightarrow (3), (R) →\rightarrow (2), (S) →(4)\rightarrow(4)

    Correct
  3. Option C:

    (P) →\rightarrow (4), (Q) →\rightarrow (3), (R) →\rightarrow (2), (S) →(1)\rightarrow(1)

  4. Option D:

    (P) →(4),(Q)→(2),(R)→(5),(S)→(3)\rightarrow(4),(Q) \rightarrow(2),(R) \rightarrow(5),(S) \rightarrow(3)
