Ques. 1JEE Main 2026, 23 January (Morning Shift)

Identify the molecule (X) with maximum number of lone pairs of electrons (obtained using Lewis dot structure) among HNO3, H2SO4, NF3 and O3. Choose the correct bond angle made by the central atom of the molecule (X).

  1. 107
  2. 102
  3. 120
  4. 116

Answer

(2) 102

Solution

Lone pairs in the Lewis structures:

HNO3: N=O (2) + N-O- (3) + O–H (2) = 7 lone pairs

H2SO4: two S=O (2 each) + two S–OH (2 each) = 8 lone pairs

NF3: three F (3 each) + N (1) = 10 lone pairs

O3: central O (1) + O= (2) + O- (3) = 6 lone pairs

X = NF3

NF3 is pyramidal (sp3 N with one lone pair); the lone pair and the highly electronegative F atoms (bond pairs drawn towards F) reduce the angle below that of NH3 (107°): F–N–F = 102

Answer: (2)
