JEE Main 2024 — 6 April, Shift 1 — Question 66

Match the List I with List II and choose the correct answer from the options given below:

LIST I (Compound / Species)LIST II (Shape / Geometry)
A.SF4\text{S}{{\text{F}}_{4}}I.Tetrahedral
B.BrF3\text{Br}{{\text{F}}_{3}}II.Pyramidal
C.BrO3−\text{BrO}_{3}^{-}III.See saw
D.NH4+\text{NH}_{4}^{+}IV.Bent T-shape
  1. Option A:

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

  2. Option B:

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

    Correct
  3. Option C:

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

  4. Option D:

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

Answer: B

Step-by-step solution

(A) SF4\text{S}{{\text{F}}_{4}} sp3\text{s}{{\text{p}}^{3}} d hybridisation See-saw

(B) BrF3\text{Br}{{\text{F}}_{3}} sp3\text{s}{{\text{p}}^{3}} d hybridisation Bent T-Shape

(C) BrO3−\text{BrO}_{3}^{-} sp3\text{s}{{\text{p}}^{3}} hybridisation

(D) NH4+\text{NH}_{4}^{+} sp3\text{s}{{\text{p}}^{3}} hybridisation

Thus, the correct match is A-III, B-IV, C-II, D-I.
