Match the carbonyl (List I) with its geometry and metal hybridisation (List II). List I: P Ni(CO)X4; Q Fe(CO)X5; R Cr(CO)X6; S MnX2(CO)X10. List II: 1 tetrahedral, sp3; 2 trigonal bipyramidal, dsp3; 3 octahedral, d2sp3; 4 contains a metal-metal bond and no bridging CO.

Answer: A
Ni(CO)X4 is tetrahedral (sp3). Fe(CO)X5 is trigonal bipyramidal (dsp3). Cr(CO)X6 is octahedral (d2sp3). MnX2(CO)X10 has a Mn-Mn bond with ten terminal CO. So P-1, Q-2, R-3, S-4.
