Vedclass · Answer

$ (A) $ The shapes of the given molecules/ions are determined by $VSEPR$ theory:
$A. I_3^-$: The central iodine atom has $3$ lone pairs and $2$ bond pairs, resulting in a linear geometry ($sp^3d$ hybridization). Thus, $A-4$.
$B. ClF_3$: The central chlorine atom has $2$ lone pairs and $3$ bond pairs, resulting in a $T$-shaped geometry ($sp^3d$ hybridization). Thus, $B-1$.
$C. H_2O$: The central oxygen atom has $2$ lone pairs and $2$ bond pairs, resulting in an angular or bent geometry ($sp^3$ hybridization). Thus, $C-3$.
$D. SF_4$: The central sulfur atom has $1$ lone pair and $4$ bond pairs, resulting in a see-saw geometry ($sp^3d$ hybridization). Thus, $D-2$.
Therefore, the correct matching is $A-4, B-1, C-3, D-2$.
