Question

Match the column.

Column I		Column II
1	$SF_2$	p	$sp^3$ and bent
2	$XeF_4$	q	Two lone pairs on central metal atom
3	$NOCl$	r	Bond angle $< 109.5^{\circ}$
4	$NF_3$	s	$sp^2$ and bent
		t	$sp^3 d^2$ and square planar

• A. (1)-p, q, r; (2)-q, r, t; (3)-s; (4)-r
• B. (1)-p, q; (2)-q, s, t; (3)-s; (4)-r
• C. (1)-p, q, r; (2)-q, s, t; (3)-r; (4)-s
• D. (1)-p, q; (2)-q, r, t; (3)-r; (4)-s

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

$SF_{2} \rightarrow sp^{3}$ $\theta < 109.208$ (bent)
$XeF_{4} \rightarrow sp^{3}d$ (Square planar)
$NOCl \rightarrow sp^{2}$ (bent)
$NF_{3} \rightarrow sp^{3}$ (Pyramidal)
