Question

Consider the following species :
$\mathrm{SOCl}_{2}, \mathrm{XeOF}_{4}, \mathrm{ClF}_{3}, \mathrm{ClF}_{5}, \mathrm{XeF}_{5}^{+}, \mathrm{SO}_{3}^{2-}, \mathrm{XeF}_{3}^{+}, \mathrm{SF}_{4}$
List-I contains different molecular shapes and List-II contains total number of species with the same molecular shapes from the given species. Match each entry in List-I with the appropriate entry in List-II and choose the correct option.

| List-I | | List-II | |
|--------|---------|---------|---|
| (P) | See-saw | (1) | One |
| (Q) | T-Shaped | (2) | two |
| (R) | Trigonal Planar | (3) | three |
| (S) | Square Pyramidal | (4) | four |
| | | (5) | zero |
