Question:
The molecule which has more number of lone pair of electrons than the bond pair of electrons in its central atom is
The molecule which has more number of lone pair of electrons than the bond pair of electrons in its central atom is
Show Hint
Use VSEPR theory to determine number of bond and lone pairs.
Total electron pairs = bond pairs + lone pairs.

- XeF$_2$
- ClF$_3$
- XeF$_4$
- SF$_4$
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
XeF$_2$ has 2 bond pairs and 3 lone pairs on the central atom (Xe). Total 5 electron pairs form a trigonal bipyramidal arrangement. Since lone pairs are more than bond pairs on Xe, this satisfies the condition.
