JEE Main Chemistry question
Match List I with List II and pick out the correct matching codes:
| Column-I | Column-II | |---|---| | (A) | (1) Square planar | | (B) | (2) Tetrahedral | | (C) | (3) Trigonal bipyramidal | | (D) | (4) Square pyramidal | | (E) | (5) T-shaped |
Answer: (A)
Solution
: 3 bond pairs + 2 lone pairs ⇒ T-shaped (A–5). : 5 bond pairs, no lone pair ⇒ trigonal bipyramidal (B–3). : 5 bond pairs + 1 lone pair ⇒ square
