Vedclass · Answer

(B) To determine the geometry,we look at the hybridization and lone pairs on the central atom:$1$. $CO_2$: The central $C$ atom is $sp$ hybridized with $0$ lone pairs,resulting in a linear shape.$2$. $ClO_2$: The central $Cl$ atom has $7$ valence electrons. It forms $2$ bonds with $O$ atoms and has $1$ lone pair and $1$ unpaired electron ($sp^3$ hybridization),resulting in a bent or $V$-shaped geometry.$3$. $I_3^-$: The central $I$ atom has $3$ lone pairs and $2$ bond pairs ($sp^3d$ hybridization),resulting in a linear geometry.Therefore,$ClO_2$ is not linear.

List-$I$ (molecules/ions)	List-$II$ (No. of lone pairs of $e^-$ on central atom)
$A$. $IF_7$	$I$. Three
$B$. $ICl_4^-$	$II$. One
$C$. $XeF_6$	$III$. Two
$D$. $XeF_2$	$IV$. Zero
