Match the interhalogen compounds of column I with the geometry in column II:Column I: (a) (b) (c) (d) Column II: (i) T-shape (ii) Pentagonal bipyramidal (iii) Linear (iv) Square-pyramidal
- A(a)-(iii), (b)-(i), (c)-(iv), (d)-(ii)
- B(a)-(v), (b)-(iv), (c)-(iii), (d)-(ii)
- C(a)-(iv), (b)-(iii), (c)-(ii), (d)-(i)
- D(a)-(iii), (b)-(iv), (c)-(i), (d)-(ii)
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
- (e.g., ): Linear (e.g., ): T-shaped (due to 3 bond pairs and 2 lone pairs) (e.g., ): Square pyramidal (5 bond pairs, 1 lone pair) (e.g., ): Pentagonal bipyramidal (7 bond pairs, 0 lone pairs)
