Match List - I with List - II $\begin{array}{llll} & \text{List-I} & & \text{List-II} \\A. & \mathrm{XeO}_3 & I. & \mathrm{sp}^3 \mathrm{~d}, \text{linear} \\B. & \mathrm{XeF}_2 & II. & \mathrm{sp}^3 ; \text{pyramidal} \\C. & \mathrm{XeOF}_4 & III. & \mathrm{sp}^3 \mathrm{~d}^3 ; \text{distorted octahedral} \\D. & \mathrm{XeF}_6 & IV. & \mathrm{sp}^3 \mathrm{~d}^2 ; \text{square pyramidal}\end{array}$ Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Correct answer
A
A-II, B-I, C-IV, D-III
B
A-II, B-I, C-III, D-IV
C
A-IV, B-II, C-III, D-I
D
A-IV, B-II, C-I, D-III

Solution

$\begin{array}{ll}\mathrm{XeO}_3 & \rightarrow \mathrm{sp}^3(1 \mathrm{LP})-\text { Pyramidal } \\ \mathrm{XeF}_2 & \rightarrow \mathrm{sp}^3 \mathrm{~d}(3 \mathrm{LP}) \text { - Linear } \\ \mathrm{XeOF}_4 & \rightarrow \mathrm{sp}^3 \mathrm{~d}^2(1 \mathrm{LP}) \text { - Square pyramidal } \\ \mathrm{XeF}_6 & \rightarrow \mathrm{sp}^3 \mathrm{~d}^3(1 \mathrm{LP}) \text { - Distorted octahedral }\end{array}$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
