a	$PCl_5$	i	Square pyramidal
b	$SF_6$	ii	Trigonal planar
c	$BrF_5$	iii	Octahedral
d	$BF_3$	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)-(iii), (c)-(iv), (d)-(i)
• C. (a)-(iii), (b)-(i), (c)-(iv), (d)-(ii)
• D. (a)-(iv), (b)-(iii), (c)-(ii), (d)-(i)

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

$PCl _{5}$ - Trigonal bipyramidal ( $5$ bond pairs)
$SF _{6}$ - Octahedral ( $6$ bond pairs)
$BrF _{5}$ - Square pyramidal ( $5$ bond pairs $+ 1$ lone pair)
$BF _{3}$ - Trigonal planar ( $3$ bond pairs)
