Question

In $O{F}_2$ molecule, the total number of bond pairs and lone pairs and lone pairs of electrons are respectively :

• A. $2,6$
• B. $2,8$
• C. $2,10$
• D. $2,9$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $2,8$

In ${OF}_2$ these are

Bond pairs $=2$

lone pairs $=8$

Two fluorine attached to the oxygen atom have $3$ lone pairs and one bond pair each.

So correct answer is $2$ bond pairs, and $8$ lone pairs.
