JEE Main 2026 — 28 January, Evening Shift — Question 58

Match List-I with List-II according to shape.

List-I	List-II
A. $\mathrm{XeO}_{3}$	I. $\mathrm{BrF}_{5}$
B. $\mathrm{XeF}_{2}$	II. $\mathrm{NH}_{3}$
C. $\mathrm{XeO}_{2} \mathrm{~F}_{2}$	III. $\left[\mathrm{I}_{3}\right]^{-}$
D. $\mathrm{XeOF}_{4}$	IV. $\mathrm{SF}_{4}$

Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

Option A:
A-II, B-I, C-III, D-IV
Option B:
A-II, B-III, C-IV, D-I
Correct
Option C:
A-II, B-III, C-I, D-IV
Option D:
A-III, B-II, C-IV, D-I

Answer: B

Step-by-step solution

$\mathrm{XeF}_{2} \& \mathrm{I}_{3}^{-}: 2$ bond pair 3 lone pair ; Linear $\mathrm{XeOF}_{4} \& \mathrm{BrF}_{5}: 5$ bond pair 1 lone pair ; Square pyramidal $\mathrm{XeO}_{2} \mathrm{~F}_{2} \& \mathrm{SF}_{4}: 4$ bond pair 1 lone pair ; See saw $\mathrm{XeO}_{3} \& \mathrm{NH}_{3}: 3$ bond pair 1 lone pair ; Pyramidal
