Vedclass · Answer

(C) The central atom in $I_3^-$ is $I$,which has $7$ valence electrons. It forms $2$ bonds with other $I$ atoms and carries a negative charge,resulting in $3$ lone pairs on the central $I$ atom.$Xe$ has $8$ valence electrons.In $XeF_2$,the $Xe$ atom forms $2$ covalent bonds with $F$ atoms,leaving $8 - 2 = 6$ electrons,which form $3$ lone pairs.In $XeF_4$,$Xe$ forms $4$ bonds,leaving $2$ lone pairs.In $XeO_3$,$Xe$ forms $6$ bonds (double bonds with $O$),leaving $1$ lone pair.In $XeO_4$,$Xe$ forms $8$ bonds,leaving $0$ lone pairs.Therefore,$XeF_2$ has the same number of lone pairs as $I_3^-$.

Which of the following xenon compounds has the same number of lone pairs as in $I_3^-$?
