E Correct answer
Explanation

SbCl5 has zero lone pairs of electrons with trigonal bipyramidal geometry. SnCl2 has one lone pair of electrons with V-shaped geometry. ICl has three lone pairs of electrons with linear shape. ICl4- has two lone pairs of electrons with square planar shape. Hence, the correct answer using the codes is P - 2 - i, Q - 3 - iv, R - 4 - iii, S - 1 - ii.
