JEE Main202229 Jul 2022Morning ShiftChemistryChemical Bonding and Molecular StructureActual
Number of lone pairs of electrons in the central atom of SCl 2 , O 3 , ClF 3 and SF 6 , respectively, are
Options
- A0 , 1 , 2   &     2
- B2 ,   1 ,   2   &   0
- C1 ,   2 ,   2   &   0
- DNone of these
Correct answer
B. 2 ,   1 ,   2   &   0
Step-by-step solution
The Lewis dot structure of the given molecules will be the following. As we can see in above structures that SCl 2   has   2   lone   pair   and   2   bond   pair ,   O 3   has   one   lone   pair   and   two   bond   pair , ClF 3   has   two   lone   pair   and   3   bond   pair   and   SF 6   has   0   lone   pair   and   6   bond   pair
