Explanation:
Principle Quantum Numbers : It describes the size of the orbital and the energy level. It is represented by n. Where, n = 1,2,3,4....
Azimuthal Quantum Number : It describes the shape of the orbital. It is represented as 'l'. The value of l ranges from 0 to (n-1). For l = 0,1,2,3... the orbitals are s, p, d, f...
s = 1 orbital
p = 3 orbitals
d = 5 orbitals
f = 7 orbitals
For n = 4
l = 0 to (n-1) = 0 to 3 = (4s , 4p , 4d , 4f)
Number of subshells = 4
Number of orbitals = 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 = 16
The maximum number of electrons the n = 4 shell can contain:
Each orbital can holds upto two electrons, then 16 orbitals will have :
32 is the maximum number of electrons the n = 4 shell can contain

Explanation:
Formula to calculate hybridization is as follows.
Hybridization =
where,
V = number of valence electrons present in central atom
N = number of monovalent atoms bonded to central atom
C = charge of cation
A = charge of anion
So, hybridization of is as follows.
Hybridization =
=
= 2
Hybridization of is sp. Therefore,
is a linear molecule. There will be only two electron groups through which Be is attached.
Similarly, hybridization of is calculated as follows.
Hybridization =
=
= 5
Therefore, hybridization of is
is also a linear molecule. Though there are three lone pair of electrons present on a xenon atom and it is further attached with fluorine atoms through two electron pairs. Hence, there are in total five electron groups.
Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options is the correct examples of linear molecules for five electron groups.
