Match List I with List II :

LIST I (Compound / Species)	LIST II (Shape / Geometry)
A. $SF_{4}$	I. Tetrahedral
B. $BrF_{3}$	II. Pyramidal
C. $BrO_{3}^{-}$	III. See saw
D. $NH_{4}^{+}$	IV. Bent T-shape

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Answer: A → III, B → IV, C → II, D → I

Solution

S F_{4}

s p^{3} d

, one lone pair

\to

see-saw (III).

Br F_{3}

s p^{3} d

, two lone pairs

\to

bent T-shape (IV).

Br O_{3}^{-}

s p^{3}

, one lone pair

\to

pyramidal (II).

N H_{4}^{+}

s p^{3}

\to

tetrahedral (I).
So A-III, B-IV, C-II, D-I.
