The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of matching the species in Column I with their corresponding geometries in Column II, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the species and their hybridization 1. **PCl₅**: - Hybridization: SP³D - Geometry: Trigonal bipyramidal 2. **ClF₃**: - Hybridization: SP³D - Geometry: Bent T shape (due to the presence of lone pairs) 3. **NH₄⁺**: - Hybridization: SP³ - Geometry: Tetrahedral 4. **H₃O⁺**: - Hybridization: SP³ - Geometry: Pyramidal (due to one lone pair on oxygen) ### Step 2: Match the species with their geometries Now, we will match each species from Column I with the corresponding shape from Column II: - (i) **PCl₅** → (d) **Trigonal bipyramidal** - (ii) **ClF₃** → (c) **Bent T shape** - (iii) **NH₄⁺** → (a) **Tetrahedral** - (iv) **H₃O⁺** → (b) **Pyramidal** ### Final Matching: - (i) PCl₅ → (d) Trigonal bipyramidal - (ii) ClF₃ → (c) Bent T shape - (iii) NH₄⁺ → (a) Tetrahedral - (iv) H₃O⁺ → (b) Pyramidal ### Summary of the Answer: - (i) → (d) - (ii) → (c) - (iii) → (a) - (iv) → (b) ---
