JEE Main 2024 — 6 April, Shift 1 — Question 63

Match List I with List II :

LIST I (Hybridization)LIST II (Orientation in Space)
A.sp3\text{s}{{\text{p}}^{3}}I.Trigonal bipyramidal
B.dsp2\text{ds}{{\text{p}}^{2}}II.Octahedral
C.sp3  ⁣ ⁣  ⁣ ⁣ d\text{s}{{\text{p}}^{3}}\text{ }\!\!~\!\!\text{ d}III.Tetrahedral
D.sp3  ⁣ ⁣  ⁣ ⁣ d2\text{s}{{\text{p}}^{3}}\text{ }\!\!~\!\!\text{ }{{\text{d}}^{2}}IV.Square planar

Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

  1. Option A:

    A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II

  2. Option B:

    A-II, B-I, C-IV, D-III

  3. Option C:

    A-IV, B-III, C-I, D-II

  4. Option D:

    A-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II

    Correct

Answer: D

Step-by-step solution

sp3→\mathrm{sp}^{3} \rightarrow Tetrahedral

dsp2→\mathrm{dsp}^{2} \rightarrow Square planar

sp3 d→\mathrm{sp}^{3} \mathrm{~d} \rightarrow Trigonal Bipyramidal

sp3 d2→\mathrm{sp}^{3} \mathrm{~d}^{2} \rightarrow Octahedral
