Match the molecular shapes given in List-$I$ with the examples given in List-$II$. List-$I$ (Shape) List-$II$ (Example) $(1)$ Linear $(B-A-B)$ $(A)$ $PCl_5$ $(2)$ Trigonal planar $(B)$ $CH_4$ $(3)$ Tetrahedral $(C)$ $HgCl_2$ $(4)$ Trigonal bipyramidal $(D)$ $BF_3$
| List-$I$ (Shape) | List-$II$ (Example) |
| $(1)$ Linear $(B-A-B)$ | $(A)$ $PCl_5$ |
| $(2)$ Trigonal planar | $(B)$ $CH_4$ |
| $(3)$ Tetrahedral | $(C)$ $HgCl_2$ |
| $(4)$ Trigonal bipyramidal | $(D)$ $BF_3$ |
(C) The molecular shapes correspond to the following geometries:
$(1)$ Linear $(B-A-B)$: $HgCl_2$ (sp hybridization).
$(2)$ Trigonal planar: $BF_3$ ($sp^2$ hybridization).
$(3)$ Tetrahedral: $CH_4$ ($sp^3$ hybridization).
$(4)$ Trigonal bipyramidal: $PCl_5$ ($sp^3d$ hybridization).
Therefore,the correct matching is $(1-C, 2-D, 3-B, 4-A)$.
$(1)$ Linear $(B-A-B)$: $HgCl_2$ (sp hybridization).
$(2)$ Trigonal planar: $BF_3$ ($sp^2$ hybridization).
$(3)$ Tetrahedral: $CH_4$ ($sp^3$ hybridization).
$(4)$ Trigonal bipyramidal: $PCl_5$ ($sp^3d$ hybridization).
Therefore,the correct matching is $(1-C, 2-D, 3-B, 4-A)$.
