Here all the bond lengths are equal. (b)

\,\,\,\,

BF

4_4^ -

, 4 bond pair present so angle is 109o 28' and sp3 hybridised.

So structure is regular tetrahedral.

Here all the bond lengths are equal. (c) SiF4 is sp3 hybridisation and regular tetrahedral geometry.

Here all the bond lengths are equal. (d) SF4 is sp3d hybridised with 4 bond pairs and 1 lone pair and its expected trigonal bipyramidal geometry gets distorted due to presence of a lone pair of electrons and it becomes distorted tetrahedral or see-saw with the bond angles equal to < 120o and 179o instead of the expected angles of 120o and 180o respectively.

Here axial and equitorial both bonds are presents.

And we know axial bonds are longer and weaker.

A sp2 and sp2
B sp3 and sp3
C sp3 and sp2
D sp2 and sp3
Correct Answer
Option D

Structure of H3BO3 is Here Boron has 3 sigma bond.

So it is sp2 hybridised.

And oxygen has two sigma bond and two lone pair.

So it sp3 hybridised.

Correct Answer
Option B

Let's consider each species in List I and determine their geometries/shapes.

A.

H3O+\mathrm{H_3O^+}: This ion is formed by the addition of a proton to a water molecule.

The central atom (O) is surrounded by three Hydrogen atoms and one lone pair, making its shape pyramidal.

B.

Acetylide anion: The acetylide ion (C2H\mathrm{C_2H^-} or C22\mathrm{C_2^{2-}}) has a linear geometry as the three atoms are in a straight line.

C.

NH4+\mathrm{NH_4^+}: The ammonium ion has a central nitrogen atom surrounded by four hydrogen atoms, giving it a tetrahedral geometry.

D.

ClO2\mathrm{ClO_2^-}: The chlorite ion has a central chlorine atom surrounded by two oxygen atoms and one lone pair, which gives it a bent or V-shaped geometry.

Matching these to List II, we get: A.

H3O+\mathrm{H_3O^+} - III.

Pyramidal B.

Acetylide anion - II.

Linear C.

NH4+\mathrm{NH_4^+} - I.

B A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II
C A-IV, B-III, C-I, D-II
D A-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II
Correct Answer
Option B
Solution

To match the molecules in List I with their corresponding shapes in List II, we need to consider the electronic geometry and the VSEPR (Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion) theory.

Here’s the detailed analysis:

NH3\mathrm{NH_3}

(Ammonia): Ammonia has a central nitrogen atom bonded to three hydrogen atoms and has one lone pair of electrons.

This leads to a trigonal pyramidal shape.

BrF5\mathrm{BrF_5}

(Bromine pentafluoride): Bromine pentafluoride has a central bromine atom bonded to five fluorine atoms and has one lone pair of electrons.

This leads to a square pyramidal shape.

PCl5\mathrm{PCl_5}

(Phosphorus pentachloride): Phosphorus pentachloride has a central phosphorus atom bonded to five chlorine atoms and no lone pairs.

This results in a trigonal bipyramidal shape.

CH4\mathrm{CH_4}

(Methane): Methane has a central carbon atom bonded to four hydrogen atoms with no lone pairs, forming a tetrahedral structure.

Using the above analyses, we can match the molecules and shapes as follows: A (

NH3\mathrm{NH_3}

) - III (Trigonal pyramidal) B (

BrF5\mathrm{BrF_5}

) - I (Square pyramid) C (

PCl5\mathrm{PCl_5}

) - IV (Trigonal bipyramidal) D (

CH4\mathrm{CH_4}

) - II (Tetrahedral) Therefore, the correct matching is option B: Option B: A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II
