Amongst the following, the total number of species NOT having eight electrons around central atom in its outer most shell, is

NH3,AlCl3,BeCl2,CCl4,PCl5{NH}_{3}, {AlCl}_{3}, {BeCl}_{2}, {CCl}_{4}, {PCl}_{5}

Options

  1. A11
  2. B22
  3. C33
  4. D44

Correct answer

C. 33

Step-by-step solution

Among the given species NH3{NH}_{3} and CCl4{CCl}_{4} is having eight electrons at the central atoms. In ammonia, one lone pair and three bond pairs at nitrogen. In carbon tetrachloride four bond pairs are present.

In AlCl3{AlCl}_{3}, aluminium has three bond pairs, i.e., it has incomplete octet.

In BeCl2{BeCl}_{2}, beryllium has two bond pairs, i.e., it has incomplete octet.

In PCl5{PCl}_{5}, phosphorus has five bond pairs, i.e, it has expanded octet.
