Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 5

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

I3+ ion has sp3 hybridisation and bent shape containing two bond pairs and two lone pairs. Structure of SiO44 is tetrahedral structure and Si is sp3 hybridised. The molecular geometry of SOCl2 is trigonal pyramidal and its electron geometry is tetrahedral. In this molecule sulphur undergo sp3 hbridisation, XeF2 molecule is linear molecule but it is sp3d hybridised. In SF4, sulphur undergo sp3d hybridisation and molecule has see-saw shape. In  ClF3, chlorine undergo sp3d hybridisation and shape of the molecule is T-shape.
