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

Options

  1. A0 , 1 , 2   &     2
  2. B2 ,   1 ,   2   &   0
  3. C1 ,   2 ,   2   &   0
  4. 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
