| (iv) Square pyramidal |
To solve this problem, we need to determine the hybridization and shape of each compound in Column I and match them with the descriptions in Column II.Let's analyze each compound:(a) XeF⢠Xenon hexafluoride has 6 bonding pairs and 1 lone pair.⢠The hybridization is ⢠The shape is distorted octahedral due to the presence of the lone pair.(b) XeO⢠Xenon trioxide has 3 bonding pairs and 1 lone pair.⢠The hybridization is ⢠The shape is pyramidal.(c) XeOF⢠Xenon oxytetrafluoride has 5 bonding pairs and 1 lone pair.⢠The hybridization is ⢠The shape is square pyramidal.(d) XeF⢠Xenon tetrafluoride has 4 bonding pairs and 2 lone pairs.⢠The hybridization is ⢠The shape is square planar.Now, let's match these with the options in Column II:⢠(a) XeF matches with (i) Distorted octahedral.⢠(b) XeO matches with (iii) Pyramidal.⢠(c) XeOF matches with (iv) Square pyramidal.⢠(d) XeF matches with (ii) Square planar.Thus, the correct option is:Option 1: (a)->(i), (b)->(iii), (c)->(iv), (d)->(ii)This corresponds to the given correct option.
