Canvas Classes · Accepted Answer

Step 1 — Determine shape of each species:

A. : Br has 5 bonds + 1 lone pair → 6 electron pairs → Square pyramidal → II

B. : Cr has 6 bonds + 0 lone pairs → 6 electron pairs → Octahedral → IV

C. : O has 2 bonds + 1 lone pair → 3 electron pairs → Bent → I

D. : P has 5 bonds + 0 lone pairs → 5 electron pairs → Trigonal bipyramidal → III

Matching: A-II, B-IV, C-I, D-III

Answer: Option (3)
