Match the Following: SF4, BrF3, BrO3− and NH4+ | JEE Main PYQ
Match List I with List II
List I (Compound/Species) List II (Shape/Geometry)
A. SF4 III. See-saw
B. BrF3 IV. Bent T-Shape
C. BrO3− II. Pyramidal
D. NH4+ I. Tetrahedral

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

Explanation

SF4 has AX4E type geometry → see-saw shape.

BrF3 has AX3E2 type → T-shaped (bent T-shape).

BrO3− has three bond pairs and one lone pair → pyramidal.

NH4+ has four bond pairs and no lone pair → tetrahedral.
