Select CORRECT code for -bond in given molecule :-

Column-I

(Molecule)

Column-II

(If one atom use it's 'np' orbital for π - bond formation then type of orbital used for p bond formation by other atom)

(P)

(1)

(Q)

(2)

(R) CO

(3) (n + 1) d

(S)

(4) (n + 2) d

Code: (P) (Q) (R) (S)

Options:

Answer:
C
Solution:

(P) SOF₄

  • S forms π bond with O using 3d orbitals (expanded octet)
  • O uses 2p → S uses (n+1)d

(Q) CS₃²⁻

  • C uses 2p, S (3rd period) can use 3p orbitals for π bonding
    overlap is pπ–pπ, so other atom uses np but here due to charge delocalization

(R) CO

  • Both C and O use 2p orbitals → pure pπ–pπ overlap

(S) BrO₃⁻

  • Br (4th period) forms π bond using d orbitals
  • O uses 2p → Br uses (n+1)d or higher
