Q33 / 180 · AIIMS 2019 (25 May) · Chemistry

Among the following, the number of compounds having zero lone pair of electrons on central atom is $\mathrm{XeO}_3, \mathrm{XeO}_2 \mathrm{~F}_2, \mathrm{XeO}_4, \mathrm{XeO}_3 \mathrm{~F}_2, \mathrm{XeF}_4$

  • Correct answer
    A
    $2$
  • B
    $3$
  • C
    $4$
  • D
    zero.

Solution

Figure
$\mathrm{XeO}_4$ and $\mathrm{XeO}_3 \mathrm{~F}_2$ do not have lone pair of electrons.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
