AP EAMCET2011ChemistryChemical Bonding and Molecular Structure
In which of the following pairs, the central atoms have the same number of lone pairs of electrons?
Options
- APCl ₅, BrF ₅
- BXeF ₂, ICl
- CXeF ₄, ClO ₄⁻
- DSCl ₄, CH ₄
Correct answer
B. XeF ₂, ICl
Step-by-step solution
Both XeF ₂ and ICl molecule have three lone pairs of electron on central atom. Hence, in XeF ₂ three lone pairs are present Hence, in ICl three lone pairs are present.
