Match List-I with List-II : List-I (Molecule) (a) XeO3 (b) XeF2 (c) XeOF4 (d) XeF6 List-II (Hybridization, shape) (I) sp3d; linear (II) sp3; pyramidal (III) sp3d3; distorted octahedral (IV) sp3d2; square pyramidal Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
- (A) a-II, b-I, c-IV, d-III
- (B) a-II, b-IV, c-III, d-I
- (C) a-IV, b-II, c-III, d-I
- (D) a-IV, b-II, c-I, d-III
Correct answer: (B) a-II, b-IV, c-III, d-I
Solution
The correct option matches the hybridization and shape of each molecule accurately: XeO3 has sp3 hybridization and a pyramidal shape, XeF2 has sp3d hybridization and a linear shape, XeOF4 has sp3d2 hybridization and a distorted octahedral shape, and XeF6 has sp3d3 hybridization and a square pyramidal shape.
