Question

Match molecules/ions $\left(inListI\right)$ with their shapes $\left(inListII\right)$

Answer 1

(A). $Cl{F}_3$ is $s{p}^{3}d$ hybridized with two lone pair of electrons. Thus, geometry is T-shaped structure with two axial and one equatorial bonds.
(B). ${\left[P{Cl}_4\right]}^{+}$ is $s{p}^3$ hybridized with tetrahedral geometry.
(C). $Xe{F}_4$is $s{p}^3{d}^2$ hybridized with expected geometry octahedral but due to presence of 2 lone pairs the geometry is square planar.
(D). $Xe{O}_3$ is $s{p}^3$ hybridized with expected geometry tetrahedral but due to 1 lone pair, the geometry is pyramidal.
