The molecule `AB_n` is planar with six pairs of electrons around A in the valence shell. The value of n is

A

6

B

2

C

4

D

3

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Since the molecule possess 6 pairs of electrons, it should exhibit octahedral geometry. But, as its structure is planar it will have 2 lone pairs of electrons, and 4 atoms of L.
