Question

How many lone pairs are present in $O{F}_2$ molecule?

• A. 2
• B. 4
• C. 6
• D. 8

Answer 1

The correct option is D 8

In $O{F}_2$ molecule, the total number of bond pairs and lone pairs are 2 and 8.
There are two bond pairs of electrons which forms two $O-F$ bond pairs. O-atom has two lone pairs of electrons. Each F atom has 3 lone pairs of electrons. Thus, in total there are 8 lone pairs of electrons. Hence, the correct answer is option (d).
