JEE Main 2025 — 23 January, Morning Shift — Question 43

Match the LIST-I with LIST-II

LIST-I (Classification of molecules based on octet rule)LIST-II (Example)
A.Molecules obeying octet ruleI.NO,NO2\text{NO},\text{N}{{\text{O}}_{2}}
B.Molecules with incomplete octetII.BCl3,AlCl3\text{BC}{{\text{l}}_{3}},\text{AlC}{{\text{l}}_{3}}
C.Molecules with incomplete octet with odd electronIII.H2SO4,PCl5{{\text{H}}_{2}}\text{S}{{\text{O}}_{4}},\text{PC}{{\text{l}}_{5}}
D.Molecules with expanded octetIV.CCl4,CO2\text{CC}{{\text{l}}_{4}},\text{C}{{\text{O}}_{2}}

Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

  1. Option A:

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

    Correct
  2. Option B:

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

  3. Option C:

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

  4. Option D:

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

Answer: A

Step-by-step solution

(A) A→\mathrm{A} \rightarrow IV

(B) B→\mathrm{B} \rightarrow II

(C) C→I\mathrm{C} \rightarrow \mathrm{I}

(D) D→\mathrm{D} \rightarrow III
