S. IF5 4. pentagonal

  1. P - 2, Q - 1, R - 3, S - 4

  2. P - 3, Q - 4, R - 2, S - 1

  3. P - 2, Q - 4, R - 3, S - 1

  4. P - 3, Q - 4, R - 1, S - 2

  5. P - 4, Q - 3, R - 1, S - 2

C Correct answer
Explanation

BrCl has 3 lone pairs and linear geometry. IF7 has zero lone pair and pentagonal geometry. BrF3 has 2 lone pairs and T-shaped geometry. IF5 has one lone pair and square pyramidal geometry. Hence, the correct sequence of codes is P - 2, Q - 4, R - 3, S - 1.
