Match List - I with List - II.
| Column I | Column II |
|---|---|
| (i) Square pyramidal | |
| (ii) Trigonal planar | |
| (iii) Octahedral | |
| (iv) Trigonal bipyramidal |
To solve this problem, we need to determine the molecular geometry of each compound listed in List-I and match it with the correct geometry in List-II.Let's analyze each compound:(a) • has a central phosphorus atom surrounded by five chlorine atoms.• The electron geometry is based on five bonding pairs, which is trigonal bipyramidal• Therefore, the molecular geometry of is trigonal bipyramidal(b) • has a central sulfur atom surrounded by six fluorine atoms.• The electron geometry is based on six bonding pairs, which is octahedral• Therefore, the molecular geometry of is octahedral(c) • has a central bromine atom surrounded by five fluorine atoms and one lone pair.• The electron geometry is based on six regions of electron density, which is octahedral• With one lone pair, the molecular geometry becomes square pyramidal(d) • has a central boron atom surrounded by three fluorine atoms.• The electron geometry is based on three bonding pairs, which is trigonal planar• Therefore, the molecular geometry of is trigonal planarNow, let's match each compound with its corresponding geometry:• (iv) Trigonal bipyramidal• (iii) Octahedral• (i) Square pyramidal• (ii) Trigonal planarTherefore, the correct option is Option 1:(a) (iv), (b) (iii), (c) (i), (d) (ii)
