(NONE) The correct matches are:
$A$. $SF_4$ has $sp^3d$ hybridization with $1$ lone pair,resulting in a see-saw shape.
$B$. $BrF_3$ has $sp^3d$ hybridization with $2$ lone pairs,resulting in a $T$-shaped geometry.
$C$. $XeF_4$ has $sp^3d^2$ hybridization with $2$ lone pairs,resulting in a square planar geometry.
$D$. $ICl_2^-$ has $sp^3d$ hybridization with $3$ lone pairs,resulting in a linear geometry.
Since all given options are correct matches,there is no incorrect match in the provided list.

Explain the non-linear shape of $H_2S$ and the non-planar shape of $PCl_3$ using the Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion $(VSEPR)$ theory.

The bond angle $H-X-H$ is the greatest in the compound

Give the correct order of initials $T$ or $F$ for following statements. Use $T$ if statement is true and $F$ if it is false:
$(I)$ The order of repulsion between different pair of electrons is $lp-lp > lp-bp > bp-bp$.
$(II)$ In general,as the number of lone pair of electrons on the central atom increases,the deviation of the bond angle from the normal bond angle increases.
$(III)$ The number of lone pairs on $O$ in $H_2O$ is $2$,while on $N$ in $NH_3$ is $1$.
$(IV)$ The structures of xenon fluorides and xenon oxyfluorides could not be explained on the basis of $VSEPR$ theory.
