The sum of the number of lone pairs of electrons on each central atom in the following species [Atomic number :
Correct answer: 6
Solution
| Number of -bonds formed by central metal atom/ ion | Number of lone pairs on central metal atom/ ion | |
| (i) | 6 | 1 |
| (ii) | 2 | 2 |
| (iii) | 4 | 0 |
| (iv) | 3 | 3 |
Total number of lone pairs of electrons
Hence, the correct answer is 6.
