Match the interhalogen compounds of column I with the geometry in column II and assign the correct code. Column I Column II (a) $$XX'$$ (i) T-shape (b) $$XX_{3}'$$ (ii) Pentagonal bipyramidal (c) $$XX_{5}'$$ (iii) Linear (d) $$XX_{7}'$$ (iv) Square - pyramidal (v) Tetrahedral

A$$(a) - (iv), (b) - (iii), (c) - (ii), (d) - (i)$$
B$$(a) - (iii), (b) - (iv), (c) - (i), (d) - (ii)$$
C$$(a) - (iii), (b) - (i), (c) - (iv), (d) - (ii)$$
Correct Answer
D$$(a) - (v), (b) - (iv), (c) - (iii), (d) - (ii)$$

Solution

(a)−(iii),
$$\displaystyle XX'$$ has linear geometry as only two atoms are present.
(b)−(i),
$$\displaystyle XX'_3$$ has T-shaped geometry as 3 bond pairs and 2 lone pairs of electrons are present. The electron pair geometry is trigonal bipyramidal.
(c)−(iv),
$$\displaystyle XX'_5$$ has Square - pyramidal geometry as 5 bond pairs and 1 lone pair of electrons are present. The electron pair geometry is octahedral.
(d)−(ii)
$$\displaystyle XX'_7$$ has pentagonal bipyramidal geometry as 7 bond pairs and 0 lone pairs of electrons are present.
