Match List I with List II:

List I	List II
A. XeO $_{3}$	I. sp $^{3}$ d, linear
B. XeF $_{2}$	II. sp $^{3}$ , pyramidal
C. XeOF $_{4}$	III. sp $^{3}$ d $^{3}$ , distorted octahedral
D. XeF $_{6}$	IV. sp $^{3}$ d $^{2}$ , square pyramidal

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Solution

XeO $_{3}$ : sp $^{3}$ hybridised with 1 lone pair → pyramidal (II).

XeF $_{2}$ : sp $^{3}$ d hybridised with 3 lone pairs → linear (I).

XeOF $_{4}$ : sp $^{3}$ d $^{2}$ hybridised with 1 lone pair → square pyramidal (IV).

XeF $_{6}$ : sp $^{3}$ d $^{3}$ hybridised with 1 lone pair → distorted octahedral (III).

$∴$ A-II, B-I, C-IV, D-III.
