(A)| NH3| (I)| Trigonal Pyramidal
(B)| BrF5| (II)| Square Planar
(C)| XeF4| (III)| Octahedral
(D)| SF6| (IV)| Square Pyramidal

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

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

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

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

Answer 2

1. NH3 is trigonal pyramidal due to lone pair repulsion.

2. BrF5 is square pyramidal with one lone pair.

3. XeF4 is square planar due to two lone pairs.

4. SF6 is octahedral with no lone pairs.
