    ClONO2\mathrm{ClONO_2}

  2. b

    HOCl

  3. c

    ClO

  4. d

    CH4\mathrm{CH_4}

Correct Answerb

HOCl

Detailed Solution

Strategy: Use hybridization states to differentiate noble gas compounds.

Step 1: Hybridization types

  • \ceXeF2:sp3d\ce{XeF2}: sp^3d
  • \ceXeF4:sp3d2\ce{XeF4}: sp^3d^2
  • \ceXeF6:sp3d3\ce{XeF6}: sp^3d^3
  • \ceXeO3:sp3\ce{XeO3}: sp^3

Step 2: Conclusion Matching each compound to its hybridization label gives the answer.
