Match List - I with List - II. List - I (A) ICl (B) ICl3 (C) ClF5 (D) IF7 List - II (I) T-Shape (II) Square pyramidal (III) Pentagonal bipyramidal (IV) Linear

1. (A)-(I), (B)-(IV), (C)-(III), D-(II)
2. (A)-(I), (B)-(III), (C)-(II), D-(IV)
3. (A)-(IV), (B)-(I), (C)-(II), D-(III)
4. (A)-(IV), (B)-(III), (C)-(II), D-(I)

Correct answer: (A)-(IV), (B)-(III), (C)-(II), D-(I)

Solution

The correct option matches the molecular geometries of the compounds accurately: ICl is linear due to its two atoms, ICl3 has a T-shaped structure due to three bonding pairs and two lone pairs, ClF5 adopts a square pyramidal shape with five bonding pairs and one lone pair, and IF7 has a pentagonal bipyramidal geometry with seven bonding pairs.
