Match List-I (species) with List-II (characteristics) and select the correct answer using the code given below the lists :

List-I

List-II

(P) N₃⁻

(1) Aromatic 6 π-electron ring

(Q) cyclo-N₅⁻

(2) Linear geometry

(R) cyclo-P₅⁻

(3) Contains sp-hybridised nitrogen

(S) P₄

(4) Tetrahedral cage with 60° bond angles

 

(5) Open-chain species

The correct option is :

Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:

N₃⁻ (16 valence e⁻, isoelectronic with CO₂) is a linear, open-chain ion whose CENTRAL nitrogen is sp-hybridised (the terminal N atoms are sp²) → 2,3,5. cyclo-N₅⁻ (pentazolate) and cyclo-P₅⁻ (pentaphospholide) are planar 6 π-electron aromatic rings, isoelectronic with C₅H₅⁻ → 1 each. P₄ is a tetrahedral cage with 60° P-P-P angles → 4.
