Question

In $Xe{O}_3{F}_2$, the number of bond pair(s), $\pi$-bond(s) and lone pair(s) on Xe atom respectively are.

• A. $5,3,0$
• B. $5,2,0$
• C. $4,2,2$
• D. $4,4,0$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $5,3,0$

In $Xe{O}_3{F}_2$, the number of bond pair(s), $\pi$-bond(s) and lone pair(s) on Xe atom are $5,3,0$ respectively.

There are three $Xe=O$ double bonds and two $Xe-F$ single bonds. All the valence electrons of Xe are involved in bonding.
