The molecule which contains maximum number of lone pairs is
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
IF 7
IF 7 = lone pairs of I = 0
Lone pairs on F = 3 x 7 = 21
Total = 21
XeF 6 = lone pairs on Xe = 1
Lone pairs on F = 18
Total = 19
XeF 4 = lone pairs on Xe = 2
Lone pairs on F = 12
Total = 14
XeF 2 = Lone pairs on Xe = 3
Lone pairs on F = 6
Total = 9
