In the structure of ClF3, the number of lone pairs of electrons on central atom ‘Cl’ is

  1. one
  2. two
  3. four
  4. three

Answer

(2) two

Solution

Cl has 7 valence electrons; 3 are used in forming three Cl–F bonds.

⇒ Remaining electrons = 7 - 3 = 4 ⇒ 2 lone pairs.

As per NCERT, ClF3 has 3 bond pairs and 2 lone pairs (sp3d hybridised, T-shaped molecule).

Answer: (2)
