Chemical Bonding - Result Question 90
66. The sum of the number of lone pairs of electrons on each central atom in the following species is
$\left[TeBr _6\right]^{2-},\left[BrF _2\right]^{+}, SNF _3$ and $\left[XeF _3\right]^{-}$
(Atomic numbers : $N=7, F=9, S=16, Br=35$, $Te=52, Xe=54)$

Answer:
Correct Answer: 66. $6$
Solution:
| S.N. | Species | No. of $\sigma$ -bonds with central atom |
No. of L.P at central atom |
|---|---|---|---|
| (i) | $\operatorname{In}\left[TeBr _6\right]^{2-}$ | 6 | 1 |
| (ii) | $\operatorname{In}\left[BrF _2\right]^{+}$ | 2 | 2 |
| (iii) | In $SNF _3$ | 4 | 0 |
| (iv) | $\operatorname{In}\left[XeF _3\right]^{-}$ | 3 | 3 |
