Amongst

{SF}_{4}, {XeF}_{4}, {CF}_{4}

and

{H}_{2}O

, the number of species with two lone pairs of electrons is Amongst SF _ 4 , XeF _ 4 , CF _ 4 and H _ 2 O , the number of species with two lone pairs of electrons is

Correct answer

Step-by-step solution

Electrons which are not involved in the bond formation are called the lone pair of electrons.

Amongst SF _ 4 , XeF _ 4 , CF _ 4 and H _ 2 O , the number of species with two lone pairs of electrons is

As we can see from the structures ${XeF}_{4}, {H}_{2}O$ are having two lone pairs on the central atom.
