Match the Following: SO2Cl2, NO, NO2− and I3− | JEE Main PYQ
Match List I with List II
List I (Molecule/Species) List II (Property/Shape)
A. SO2Cl2 III. Tetrahedral
B. NO I. Paramagnetic
C. NO2− II. Diamagnetic
D. I3− IV. Linear

Correct Answer: A-III, B-I, C-II, D-IV

Explanation

SO2Cl2 has four bond pairs around sulphur → tetrahedral.

NO contains one unpaired electron → paramagnetic.

NO2− has all electrons paired → diamagnetic.

I3− has sp3d hybridisation with three lone pairs → linear.
