ChemistryChemical Bonding and Molecular StructureJEE Main

Match List I with List II and choose the correct matching codes:

| Column-I | Column-II | |---|---| | (A) | (1) Linear | | (B) | (2) Pyramidal | | (C) | (3) Trigonal bipyramidal | | (D) | (4) Tetrahedral | | (E) | (5) Pentagonal bipyramidal | | | (6) Angular |

Answer: (A)

Solution

(5 bond pairs, no lone pair) is trigonal bipyramidal (A–3). (7 bond pairs, no lone pair) is pentagonal bipyramidal (B–5). (3 bond pairs + 1 lone pair) is pyramidal (C–2).
