NEET Chemistry VSEPR Theory Match the Following Question
Match Column-I with Column-II.
| Column-I | Column-II |
|---|---|
| (a) Linear | (i) AB2 |
| (b) Trigonal Planar | (ii) AB3 |
| (c) Tetrahedral | (iii) AB4 |
| (d) Trigonal Bipyramidal | (iv) AB5 |
a-i, b-ii, c-iii, d-iv
a-ii, b-i, c-iv, d-iii
a-iii, b-iv, c-i, d-ii
a-iv, b-iii, c-ii, d-i
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
According to VSEPR theory, the geometry of molecules is determined by the number of electron pairs around the central atom. The correct pairings reflect the geometries associated with their respective AB notation.
