Column I		Column II
(a)	$X{X}^{\prime }$	(i)	T-shape
(b)	$X{X}_3^{\prime }$	(ii)	Pentagonal bipyramidal
(c)	$X{X}_5^{\prime }$	(iii)	Linear
(d)	$X{X}_7^{\prime }$	(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)

$X{X}^{\prime }\to$ Linear

$X{X}_3^{\prime }\to$ Example $:CI{F}_3\to$ T-shape

$X{X}_5^{\prime }\to$ Example $:Br{F}_5\to$ Square pyramidal

$X{X}_7^{\prime }\to$ Example $:I{F}_7\to$ Pentagonal bipyramidal
