Question

Match List-I with List-II:

List-I ( Types of hybridisation )		List-II ( Distribution of hybrid orbitals in space )
A	sp$^3$	(I)	Trigonal bipyramidal
B	dsp$^2$	(II)	Octahedral
C	sp$^3$d	(III)	Tetrahedral
D	sp$^3$d$^2$	(IV)	Square Planar

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A. A-I, B-II, C-III, D-IV
• B. A-I, B-III, C-II, D-IV
• C. A-I, B-II, C-IV, D-III
• D. A-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

The correct matches are: sp$^3$ hybridization corresponds to a tetrahedral arrangement (III), dsp$^2$ corresponds to a square planar arrangement (IV), sp$^3$d corresponds to a trigonal bipyramidal geometry (I), and sp$^3$d$^2$ corresponds to an octahedral geometry (II). These arrangements are based on the number of bonding and lone pairs around the central atom.
