Match the species in List I with the hybridisation and shape in List II. List I: (P) $ClF X_{3}$ (Q) $ICl X_{4} X^{-}$ (R) $XeF X_{2}$ (S) $XeO X_{3}$ . List II: (1) $s p^{3} d$ , T-shaped (2) $s p^{3} d^{2}$ , square planar (3) $s p^{3} d$ , linear (4) $s p^{3}$ , trigonal pyramidal.

ClF X_{3}

has 3 bond pairs and 2 lone pairs, so it is

s p^{3} d

and T-shaped.

ICl X_{4} X^{-}

has 4 bond pairs and 2 lone pairs, so it is

s p^{3} d^{2}

and square planar.

XeF X_{2}

has 2 bond pairs and 3 lone pairs, so it is

s p^{3} d

and linear.

XeO X_{3}

has 3 sigma bonds and 1 lone pair, so it is

s p^{3}

and pyramidal.
