Match the compounds given in column I with the hybridisation and shape given in column II and mark the correct option. Column-I: 1. XeF₆ 2. XeO₃ 3. XeOF₄ 4. XeF₄ Column-II: (i) Distorted octahedral (ii) Square planar (iii) Pyramidal (iv) Square pyramidal Code:

1. (a) (i) (iii) (iv) (ii)
2. (b) (ii) (iii) (iv) (i)
3. (c) (iv) (iii) (ii) (i)
4. (d) (iv) (i) (ii) (iii)

Correct answer: (a) (i) (iii) (iv) (ii)

Solution

The correct matching is: XeF₆ - Distorted octahedral (i), XeO₃ - Pyramidal (iii), XeOF₄ - Square pyramidal (iv), XeF₄ - Square planar (ii). This is based on the VSEPR theory and the hybridization of xenon in these compounds.
