Solution

The correct option is B a(iii), b(i), c(iv), d(ii)
(a)-(iii),
XX has linear shape as only two atoms are present.

(b)−(i),
XX3 has T-shaped as 3 bond pairs and 2 lone pairs of electrons are present. The electron pair geometry is trigonal bipyramidal.

(c)−(iv),
XX5​ has square pyramidal shape as 5 bond pairs and 1 lone pair of electrons are present. The electron pair geometry is octahedral.

(d)−(ii)
XX7 has pentagonal bipyramidal shape as 7 bond pairs and 0 lone pairs of electrons are present.
Hence, option (B) is the correct answer.
