Detailed Solution

The molecule having two lone pair electrons on central atom is  I3+, XeF4, H2O, NH2, H2S 

I3- has a linear Molecular Geometry. While there are three Iodine atoms, one of them has a negative charge, resulting in two bond pairs and three lone pairs of electrons. It will have a steric number of 5. The three solitary pairs will oppose each other and occupy the equatorial locations.

Hence, the number of molecule having two lone pair electrons on the central atom is 5.
