Question

Match List I with List II:

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A. A-I, B-IV, C-III, D-II
• B. A-IV, B-II, C-III, D-I
• C. A-IV, B-I, C-II, D-III
• D. A-II, B-I, C-IV, D-III

Hint:

Remember that the hybridization and geometry of a molecule are largely determined by the number of bonding and lone pairs on the central atom. For compounds with xenon, the hybridization can often be sp\textsuperscript{3}, sp\textsuperscript{3d}, or sp\textsuperscript{3d\textsuperscript{2}} depending on the number of bonds and lone pairs.
