Q23 / 90 · JEE Main 2021 (18 Mar Shift 2) · Chemistry
The number of species below that have two lone pairs of electrons in their central atom is ___ (Round off to the Nearest integer)
Correct answer: 2
Solution

Two l.p. on central atom is
The valence shell electron pair repulsion (VSEPR) theory is a model used to predict 3-D molecular geometry based on the number of valence shell electron bond pairs among the atoms in a molecule or ion. This model assumes that electron pairs will arrange themselves to minimize repulsion effects from one another.
Hence, the correct answer is 2.
