NEET (UG) 2024 — Question 58

Match List I with List II.

List I (Compound)List II (Shape/geometry)
A. NH3_3I. Trigonal Pyramidal
B. BrF5_5II. Square Planar
C. XeF4_4III. Octahedral
D. SF6_6IV. Square Pyramidal

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

  1. Option A:

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

    Correct
  2. Option B:

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

  3. Option C:

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

  4. Option D:

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

Answer: A

Step-by-step solution

NH3⇒sp3\mathrm{NH}_{3} \Rightarrow s p^{3} hybridised with 1 lone pair.

Structure will be Trigonal Pyramidal.

BrF5⇒sp3d2\mathrm{BrF}_{5} \Rightarrow s p^{3} d^{2} hybridised with 1 lone pair.

Structure will be Square Pyramidal.

XeF4⇒sp3d2\mathrm{XeF}_{4} \Rightarrow s p^{3} d^{2} with two lone pairs.

Structure will be Square Planar.

SF6⇒sp3d2\mathrm{SF}_{6} \Rightarrow s p^{3} d^{2} with no lone pair.

Structure will be Octahedral.

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