NEET 2026 Chemistry Hybridisation and Geometry Match the Following Question
Match List I with List II:
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
| Complex/ion | Shape/geometry |
|---|---|
| (A) [Pt(Cl₂)(NH₃)₂] | (I) Octahedral |
| (B) [Co(NH₃)₆]Cl₃ | (II) Trigonal bipyramidal |
| (C) [NiCl₄]²⁻ | (III) Square planar |
| (D) [Fe(CO)₅] | (IV) Tetrahedral |
A⁻III, B⁻IV, C⁻I, D⁻II
A⁻III, B⁻I, C⁻IV, D⁻II
A⁻IV, B⁻I, C⁻III, D⁻II
A⁻I, B⁻III, C⁻IV, D⁻II
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
In [Pt(Cl₂)(NH₃)₂]; Pt has dsp² hybridisation, so shape of complex is square planar. In [Co(NH₃)₆]Cl₃; Co has d²sp³ hybridisation so shape of complex is octahedral. In [NiCl₄]²⁻; Ni has sp³ hybridisation so shape of complex ion is tetrahedral. In [Fe(CO)₅]; shape of complex is trigonal bipyramidal.
