Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

 

 

 

 

Options:

Answer:
B
Solution:

From the following lewis structures ofIF7, ICl4-, XeF6 & XeF2:
,,and
we can deduce the number of lone pairs as well as the hybridisation of the central atom:
IF7:zero lone pair  sp3d3ICl4-:two lone pair   sp3d2XeF6:one lone pair  sp3d2XeF2:three lone pair  sp3d
