Among the following molecules(i) (ii) (iii) Those having same number of lone pairs on are:

  1. A
    (i) and (ii) only
  2. B
    (i) and (iii) only
  3. C
    (ii) and (iii) only
  4. D
    (i), (ii) and (iii).

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Xe has 8 valence electrons.: Uses 6 electrons for 3 double bonds with O. Remaining = 2 electrons (1 lone pair).: Uses 2 electrons for O and 4 for F. Remaining = 2 electrons (1 lone pair).: Uses 6 electrons for 6 bonds with F. Remaining = 2 electrons (1 lone pair).All three have exactly one lone pair on the Xenon atom.
