54. Which of the following species has four lone pairs of electrons?

[1993]

(a) I

(b) $O^{-}$

(c) $Cl^{-}$

(d) $He$

Show Answer

Solution:

  1. (c) Outer electronic configuration of $Cl$ $=3 s^{2} 3 p_x^{2} 3 p_y^{2} 3 p_z{ }^{1}$

Outer electronic configuration of $Cl^{-}=3 s^{2} 3 p_x^{2} 3 p_y{ }^{2} 3 p_z{ }^{2}$

hence, $Cl^{-}$contains four lone pairs of electrons.
