Ques. 1JEE Main 2026, 24 January (Morning Shift)

Among the following, the CORRECT combinations are Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

  1. B, C and D Only
  2. A, B, C and D
  3. A, B and C Only
  4. A and B Only

Answer

(3) A, B and C Only

Solution

Steric number = bond pairs + lone pairs on the central atom.

A. IF3: 3 bp + 2 lp = 5 sp3d, T-shaped. Correct.

B. IF5: 5 bp + 1 lp = 6 sp3d2, square pyramidal. Correct.

C. IF7: 7 bp + 0 lp = 7 sp3d3, pentagonal bipyramidal. Correct.

D. ClO4-: 4 σ bonds + 0 lp = 4 sp3, tetrahedral (not square planar, sp2d). Incorrect.

A, B and C only.

Answer: (3)
