| Column-I | Column-II |
|---|---|
| (a) Coordination number 4 | (i) Tetrahedral |
| (b) Coordination number 6 | (ii) Octahedral |
| (c) Coordination number 5 | (iii) Trigonal bipyramidal |
| (d) Coordination number 2 | (iv) Linear |
a-i, b-ii, c-iii, d-iv
a-i, b-iii, c-ii, d-iv
a-ii, b-i, c-iv, d-iii
a-iii, b-iv, c-i, d-ii
