Question

Use these species and information codes independently. Shape codes: [a] tetrahedral cation; [b] square-planar ion; [c] linear diatomic; [d] linear cation and tetrahedral anion. Which information code describes P?

List-I	List-II
[P] solid PBr₅	[1] [PBr₄]⁺Br⁻
[Q] ICl₄⁻	[2] AX₄E₂
[R] CS gas	[3] ten-valence-electron diatomic
[S] NO₂BF₄	[4] [NO₂]⁺[BF₄]⁻

Solid phosphorus pentabromide is represented as [PBr₄]⁺Br⁻, so P matches1. This is not the hexahalide-anion description of solid PCl₅.
