Which of the following contains the maximum number of lone pairs on the central atom?
Show Hint
- ClO−3
- XeF4
- SF4
- I−3
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
- ClO−3: The central Cl atom has one lone pair.
- XeF4: The central Xe atom has two lone pairs.
- SF4: The central S atom has one lone pair.
- I−3: The central I atom has three lone pairs.
Therefore, I−3 has the most lone pairs (3) on its central atom.

Manufacturers supply a zener diode with zener voltage \( V_z=5.6\,\text{V} \) and maximum power dissipation \( P_{\max}=\frac14\,\text{W} \). This zener diode is used in the circuit shown. Calculate the minimum value of the resistance \( R_s \) so that the zener diode will not burn when the input voltage is \( V_{in}=10\,\text{V} \).
