NEET Chemistry (general) Match the Following Question
Type: Match the Following-match the column-Hard-Class 12
Match Column-I with Column-II.
Column-I Column-II (a) BrF3 (i) Trigonal bipyramidal (b) Chlorine (ii) Discovered in 1774 (c) ICl (iii) More reactive than I2 (d) Radon (iv) Short half-life
Choose the correct matching:
A
a-i, b-ii, c-iii, d-iv
B
a-ii, b-iv, c-iii, d-i
C
a-iii, b-i, c-ii, d-iv
D
a-i, b-iv, c-ii, d-iii
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
BrF3 has a trigonal bipyramidal arrangement according to VSEPR theory with three bond pairs and two lone pairs. Chlorine was discovered in 1774 by Scheele, and ICl is indeed more reactive than I2 due to weaker bonding. Radon is known for its short half-life, making its chemistry challenging to study.
