(C) $NO^{-}_{2}$| (III) Tetrahedral
(D) $I^{-}_{3}$| (IV) Linear
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

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

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

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

Answer 2

(A) SO$_2$Cl$_2$: Hybridization is sp$^3$, Tetrahedral shape.
(B) NO: Unpaired electron, hence Paramagnetic.
(C) NO$_2^-$: Paired electrons, hence Diamagnetic.
(D) I$_3^-$: Linear shape with sp$^3$d hybridization.
