The sum of the number of lone pairs of electrons on each central atom in the following species is [TeBr 6 ] 2– , [BrF 2 ] + , SNF 3 , and [XeF 3 ] – (Atomic numbers: N = 7, F = 9, S = 16, Br = 35, Te = 52, Xe = 54)
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
6
(6)
Sol. Species lone pair on central atom
TeBr 2– : 1
BrF 2 + : 2
SNF 3 : 0
XeF 3 – : 3
Total Number of lone pair = 6
SNF 3 :
