Question

How to calculate total number of lone pairs present in xef4?

Answer 1

$\huge{\fbox{\fbox{\bigstar{\mathfrak{\red{Answer}}}}}}$

Since, there are 4 F atoms and each F atom has 3 lone pairs, total lone pairs are 3×4 = 12. So, there are 12 lone pairs on F atoms. Taking all in consideration, 2+12=14. So, there are total 14 lone pairs on the molecule of XeF4.❤️
