| LIST I |
LIST II |
||
|---|---|---|---|
| A. | $ \mathrm{ICl} $ |
I. | T - shape |
| B. | $ \mathrm{ICl}_3 $ |
II. | Square pyramidal |
| C. | $ \mathrm{ClF}_5 $ |
III. | Pentagonal bipyramidal |
| D. | $ \mathrm{IF}_7 $ |
IV. | Linear |
Choose the correct answer from the options given below :
Solution
<p>$$\begin{aligned}
& \mathrm{ICl} \rightarrow s p^3 \rightarrow 1 \mathrm{bp}+3 \mathrm{lp} \rightarrow \text { Linear } \\
& \mathrm{ICl}_3 \rightarrow s p^3 d \rightarrow 3 \mathrm{bp}+2 \mathrm{lp} \rightarrow \mathrm{T} \text {-shape } \\
& \mathrm{CIF}_5 \rightarrow s p^3 d^2 \rightarrow 5 \mathrm{bp}+1 \mathrm{lp} \rightarrow \text { Square Pyramidal } \\
& \mathrm{IF}_7 \rightarrow s p^3 d^3 \rightarrow 7 \text { bp only } \rightarrow \text { Pentagonal bipyramidal } \\
& \text { (A)-(IV), (B)-(I), (C)-(II), D-(III) }
\end{aligned}$$</p>
