NEET Chemistry VSEPR Theory Match the Following Question
Match Column-I with Column-II.
Column-I Column-II (a) AB2 (i) Linear (b) AB3 (ii) Trigonal Planar (c) AB4 (iii) Tetrahedral (d) AB5 (iv) Trigonal Bipyramidal
Choose the correct matching:
a-i, b-ii, c-iii, d-iv
a-ii, b-i, c-iv, d-iii
a-iv, b-iii, c-i, d-ii
a-iii, b-iv, c-ii, d-i
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
According to VSEPR theory, the geometry of a molecule is determined by the number of valence shell electron pairs around the central atom. The pairings in option A accurately reflect the geometries associated with the respective molecular formulas.
