A covalent molecule `AB_(3)` has pyramidal structure. The number of lone pair and bond pair electrons in the molecule are respectively

A

0 and 4

B

3 and 1

C

1 and 3

D

2 and 2

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
In general , a compound with formula `AB_(3)` is `sp^(2)` hybridised with triangular planar geometry. However, the given compound has pyramidal structure which is possible only when it has a lone pair of electrons. Thus `AB_(3)` has 3 bond pairs and one lone pair
