Question

Match List-I with List-II.

List-I (Molecule)	List-II (Shape)
(A) \(NH_3\)	(I) Square pyramid
(B) \(BrF_5\)	(II) Tetrahedral
(C) \(PCL_5\)	(III) Trigonal pyramidal
(D) \(CH_4\)	(IV) Trigonal bipyramidal

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A. A-IV, B-III, C-I, D-II
• B. A-II, B-IV, C-I, D-III
• C. A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II
• D. A-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

NH$_3$: Trigonalpyramidal ({sp}$^3$ hybridization with one lone pair on N).
BrF$_5$: Squarepyramidal ({sp}$^3${d}$^2$ hybridization with one lone pair on Br).
PCl$_5$: Trigonalbipyramidal ({sp}$^3${d} hybridization, no lone pairs).
CH$_4$: Tetrahedral ({sp}$^3$ hybridization, no lone pairs).
Matching: A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II.
Final Answer: A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II.
