The p-Block Elements

Match the xenon compounds in Column I with their molecular geometry in Column II:

Column I	Column II
(a) $\mathrm{XeF_4}$	(i) Pyramidal
(b) $\mathrm{XeF_6}$	(ii) Square planar
(c) $\mathrm{XeOF_4}$	(iii) Distorted octahedral
(d) $\mathrm{XeO_3}$	(iv) Square pyramidal

A.(a)-(i), (b)-(ii), (c)-(iii), (d)-(iv)
B.(a)-(ii), (b)-(iii), (c)-(iv), (d)-(i)✓
C.(a)-(ii), (b)-(iii), (c)-(i), (d)-(iv)
D.(a)-(iii), (b)-(iv), (c)-(i), (d)-(ii)

You have the answer. The worked solution — and why the other three were written — is part of a paid pack.
