  • question_answer
    In\[Xe{{F}_{2}},\,\,Xe{{F}_{4}}\] and \[Xe{{F}_{6}}\,,\] the number of lone pairs on Xe are respectively

    A) 2, 3, 1

    B)               1, 2, 3

    C) 4, 1, 2              

    D) 3, 2, 1

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d] In \[Xe{{F}_{2}}\] Total number of valence electrons of\[Xe=8\], two electrons shared with 2F atoms, 6 electrons left hence 3 lone pairs, in \[Xe{{F}_{4}}\] 4 shared with 4 F atoms 4 left hence 2 lone pairs; in \[Xe{{F}_{6}}\]6 shared with 6 F atoms 2 left hence 1 lone pair.
