Question

Match the interhalogen compounds of column-I with the geometry in column II and assign the correct. code.

Column I		Column II
(a)	$XX'$	(i)	T-shape
(b)	$XX'_3$	(ii)	Pentagonal bipyramidal
(c)	$XX'_5$	(iii)	Linear
(d)	$XX'_7$	(iv)	Square-pyramidal
		(v)	Tetrahedral

• A. (iii), (i), (iv), (ii)
• B. (v), (iv), (iii), (ii)
• C. (iv), (iii), (ii),(i)
• D. (iii), (iv), (i), (ii)

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

$XX ' \rightarrow$ Linear

$XX _{3}' \rightarrow$ Example $: CIF _{3} \rightarrow$ T-shape

$XX _{5}' \rightarrow$ Example $: BrF _{5} \rightarrow$ Square pyramidal

$XX _{7}' \rightarrow$ Example $: IF _{7} \rightarrow$ Pentagonal bipyramidal
