Number of compounds with one lone pair of electrons on central atom amongst following is _
O3,H2O,SF4,ClF3,NH3,BrF5,XeF4

Answer:
4.00
Solution:

A pair of electrons which is not shared by any of the reacting atoms is called a lone pair of electrons. Lone pairs are found in the outermost electron shell of atoms. They can be identified by using a Lewis structure.

The structures of the compounds are as follows,

Hence the compounds NH3,O3,SF4 and BrF5 have one lone pair on central metal atom.
