ChemistryChemical Bonding and Molecular StructureJEE Main

Match the compounds in List I with their shape in List II:

| Column-I | Column-II | |---|---| | (A) | (p) Planar triangular | | (B) | (q) T-shape | | (C) | (r) Trigonal pyramid | | (D) | (s) Square pyramid | | (E) | (t) Linear | | | (u) Bent |

Answer: (A)

Solution

(3 Xe=O domains + 1 lone pair) is pyramidal ⇒ trigonal pyramid (A–r). (5 bond domains + 1 lone pair, ) is square pyramidal (B–s). (3 bond regions, no lone pair,
