{SCl}_{2}, {O}_{3}, {ClF}_{3}

and

{SF}_{6}

, respectively, are Number of lone pairs of electrons in the central atom of SCl _ 2 , O _ 3 , ClF _ 3 and SF _ 6 , respectively, are

Number of lone pairs of electrons in the central atom of SCl _ 2 , O _ 3 , ClF _ 3 and SF _ 6 , respectively, are

Options

A $0, 1, 2 \text{ and } 2$
B $2, 1, 2 \text{ and } 0$
C $1, 2, 2 \text{ and } 0$
DNone of these

Correct answer

B. $2, 1, 2 \text{ and } 0$

Step-by-step solution

The Lewis dot structure of the given molecules will be the following.
As we can see in above structures that ${SCl}_{2}has2lonepairand2bondpair, {O}_{3}hasonelonepairandtwobondpair, {ClF}_{3}hastwolonepairand3bondpairand{SF}_{6}has0lonepairand6bondpair$
