Difference in total number of lone pairs in actual molecular structure & Lewis structure is minimum in:

Options:(select one or more)

Answer:
A, D
Solution:

Compare lone-pair counts after accounting for actual delocalized bonding.

POF₃ and SO₂ have the minimum change from their Lewis structures.

H₂SO₄ and ClO₄⁻ show a larger difference because of equivalent delocalized bonding. Therefore A and D.
