In which of the following pairs do the two species have the SAME shape, the SAME hybridisation of the central atom AND the SAME number of lone pairs on the central atom?
Options:
Answer:
A
Solution:
XeF₂ and I₃⁻ are both linear (sp³d) with THREE lone pairs on the central atom - all three criteria match. ClF₃ is T-shaped (sp³d, 2 lone pairs) while SO₂ is bent (sp², 1 lone pair); NH₃ is pyramidal (sp³) while BF₃ is trigonal planar (sp²); SF₄ is see-saw (sp³d, 1 lone pair) while [PCl₄]⁺ is tetrahedral (sp³, 0 lone pairs).
