Question

Match the interhalogen compunds of column-I with the geometry in column II and assign the correct, code.

$\begin{array}{cc}ColumnI& ColumnII\\ \left(a\right)X{X}^{\prime }& \left(i\right)\text{T-shape}\\ \left(b\right)X{X}_3^{\prime }& \left(ii\right)\text{Pentagonal bipyramidal}\\ \left(c\right)X{X}_5^{\prime }& \left(iii\right)\text{Linear}\\ \left(d\right)X{X}_7^{\prime }& \left(iv\right)\text{Square pyramidal}\\ & \left(v\right)\text{Tetrahedral}\end{array}$

• A. $\left(a\right)-\left(iii\right);\left(b\right)-\left(iv\right);\left(c\right)-\left(i\right);\left(d\right)-\left(ii\right)$
• B. $\left(a\right)-\left(iv\right);\left(b\right)-\left(iii\right);\left(c\right)-\left(ii\right);\left(d\right)-\left(i\right)$
• C. $\left(a\right)-\left(iii\right);\left(b\right)-\left(i\right);\left(c\right)-\left(iv\right);\left(d\right)-\left(ii\right)$
• D. $\left(a\right)-\left(v\right);\left(b\right)-\left(iv\right);\left(c\right)-\left(iii\right);\left(d\right)-\left(ii\right)$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $\left(a\right)-\left(iii\right);\left(b\right)-\left(i\right);\left(c\right)-\left(iv\right);\left(d\right)-\left(ii\right)$

$\begin{array}{cccc}\left(a\right)& X{X}^{\prime }(e.g.ClF)& \left(i\right)& \text{Linear}\\ \left(b\right)& X{X}_3^{\prime }(e.g.Cl{F}_3)& \left(ii\right)& \text{T-shape}\\ \left(c\right)& X{X}_5^{\prime }(e.g.I{F}_5)& \left(iii\right)& \text{Square pyramidal}\\ \left(d\right)& X{X}_7^{\prime }(e.g.I{F}_7)& \left(iv\right)& \text{Pentagonal bipyramidal}\end{array}$
Option (a) is correct

For $X{X}^{\prime }$
For $X{X}_3^{\prime }$

For $X{X}_5^{\prime }$For $X{X}_7^{\prime }$
