S + Conc. H ₂ SO ₄ X+Y Here X is a gas and Y is a liquid and both are triatomic molecules. The number of electron lone pairs present on the central atoms of X and Y are respectively.
Options
- A2, 1
- B1, 0
- C1, 2
- D2, 2
Correct answer
C. 1, 2
Step-by-step solution
S +2 H ₂ SO ₄ (conc.) 3 SO ₂+2 H ₂ O (X) (Y) As SO ₂ has one lone pair of electrons on central atom i.e., sulphur. And H ₂ O has two lone pair of electrons on the central atom i.e., oxygen.
