Question

Match List-I with List-II. List-I: A. XeO3, B. XeF2, C. XeOF4, D. XeF6. List-II: (I) sp^3d; linear, (II) sp^3; pyramidal, (III) sp^3d^3; distorted octahedral, (IV) sp^3d^2; square pyramidal.

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

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

Correct Answer

Option A — A-II, B-I, C-IV, D-III

Detailed Solution & Explanation

The correct answer is A-II, B-I, C-IV, D-III.

Key Points

• XeO$_3$: $sp^3$, pyramidal (II).
• XeF$_2$: $sp^3d$, linear (I).
• XeOF$_4$: $sp^3d^2$, square pyramidal (IV).
• XeF$_6$: $sp^3d^3$, distorted octahedral (III).
