Question

Which of the following sets are correctly matched? {|c|c|c|} Set & Molecule & Geometry
I & $\text{BrF}_5$ & Square pyramidal
II & $\text{XeF}_6$ & Distorted octahedral
III & $\text{SF}_4$ & Square planar
IV & $\text{PbCl}_2$ & Linear

• A. I and II
• B. II and III
• C. III and IV
• D. I and IV

Hint:

Remember common VSEPR shapes:
• $AX_5E \rightarrow$ Square pyramidal
• $AX_4E \rightarrow$ Seesaw
• $AX_2E \rightarrow$ Bent
• $AX_6E \rightarrow$ Distorted octahedral

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A
