Question

Match the coordination number and type of hybridisation with distribution of hybrid orbitals in space based on Valence bond theory.

Coordination number and type of hybridisation		Distribution of hybrid orbitals in space
(a)	4, sp3	(i)	trigonal bipyramidal
(b)	4, dsp2	(ii)	octahedral
(c)	5, sp3d	(iii)	tetrahedral
(d)	6, d2sp3	(iv)	square planar

Select the correct option : 

(1) (a)-(iii) (b)-(i) (c)-(iv) (d)-(ii) 

(2) (a)-(ii) (b)-(iii) (c)-(iv) (d)-(i) 

(3) (a)-(iii) (b)-(iv) (c)-(i) (d)-(ii) 

(4) (a)-(iv) (b)-(i) (c)-(ii) (d)-(iii)
