Vedclass · Answer

(C) To determine the number of lone pairs on the central atom,we use the formula: $	ext{Lone pairs} = \frac{1}{2} (V - B)$,where $V$ is the number of valence electrons of the central atom and $B$ is the number of bonding electrons (or atoms bonded to it).$1$. $I_{3}^{+}$: The central $I$ atom has $7$ valence electrons. It forms $2$ bonds with other $I$ atoms and has a positive charge,so $V = 7 - 1 = 6$. Bonding electrons $B = 2$. Lone pairs = $\frac{1}{2} (6 - 2) = 2$.$2$. $H_{2}O$: The central $O$ atom has $6$ valence electrons. It forms $2$ bonds with $H$ atoms. Lone pairs = $\frac{1}{2} (6 - 2) = 2$.Both $I_{3}^{+}$ and $H_{2}O$ have $2$ lone pairs on their central atoms. Therefore,option $C$ is correct.
