Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

The number of lone pairs of electrons on the central atoms of H 2 O , SnCl 2, PCl 3 and XeF 2 are 2 , 1, 1 and 3 respectively.

Number of lone pairs = 2

Number of lone pair = 1

Number of lone pairs = 3.

Q. The number of lone pair of electrons on the central atoms of $H_{2} O, S n C l_{2}, PC l_{3}$ and $X e F_{2}$ respectively, are

2, 1, 1, 3

2, 2, 1, 3

3, 1, 1, 2

2, 1, 2, 3

The number of lone pairs of electrons on the central atoms of $H_{2} O, S n C l_{2}, PC l_{3}$ and $X e F_{2}$ are $2, 1, 1$ and $3$ respectively.
Number of lone pairs = 2
