JEE Main 2025 — 3 April, Morning Shift — Question 8

Match the LIST-I with LIST-II

LIST-I (Molecules/ion)LIST-II (Hybridisation of central atmn)
A. PF5\mathrm{PF}_{5}I. dsp2\mathrm{dsp}^{2}
B. SF6\mathrm{SF}_{6}II. sp3 d\mathrm{sp}^{3} \mathrm{~d}
C. Ni(CO)4\mathrm{Ni}(\mathrm{CO})_{4}III. sp3 d2\mathrm{sp}^{3} \mathrm{~d}^{2}
D. [PtCl4]2−[\mathrm{PtCl} 4]^{2-}IV. sp3\mathrm{sp}^{3}

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-III, C-IV, D-I

    Correct
