Question 53

Match the species in Column I with the geometry/shape in Column II.

$\begin{array}{cccc}& \text{Column~I}& & \text{Column~II}\\ A.& H_3{O}^{+}& 1.& \text{Linear}\\ B.& HC\equiv CH& 2.& \text{Angular}\\ C.& CL{O}_2^{-}& 3.& \text{Tetrahedral}\\ D.& N{H}_4^{+}& 4.& \text{Trigonal~bipyramidal}\\ & & 5.& \text{Pyramidal}\end{array}$

Answer 1

A.$\to$ (5) B.$\to$ (1) C.$\to$ (2) D.$\to$ (3)

A. $H_3{O}^{+}$=3 bp + 1Ip pyramidal shape

B. HC $\equiv CH\Rightarrow$ linear shape

C. $Cl{O}_2^{-}$=2bp+2Ip$\Rightarrow$ angular shape

D. $N{H}_4^{+}$ = 4bp+0Ip $\Rightarrow$ tetrahedral shape
