Consider the following List-I and List-II:
List-I (Molecule) (a) (b) (c) (d)
List-II (Shape or geometry) (i) Trigonal planar (ii) Octahedral (iii) Linear (iv) Trigonal pyramidal
Identify the wrong match from the given pairs:
b
c
d
a
To identify the wrong match, we evaluate the molecular geometry of each species based on VSEPR theory and hybridisation as described in the sources:
Since pair (a) is the only incorrect match, the correct choice is 'a'.
