For the molecule MA2Ln (where A is number of single bonded. surrounding atoms, L indicates lone pair and n is the number of lone pair and M is the central atom of s or p block element). The possible range of 'n' is :

A
1 to 4
B
zero to 4
C
1 to 3
D
0 to 3

Solution:

The standard structure of the molecule is, $M A_{2} L_{n}$

Where A is number of single-bonded. surrounding atoms, L indicates the lone pair and n is the number of lone pair and M is the central atom of the s or p block element).

The possible range of 'n' is from 0 to 3

The possible structure of the molecule is $M A_{2}, M A_{2} L, M A_{2} L_{2}, M A_{2} L_{3}$

For the molecule $M A_{2} L_{n}$ (where A is number of single bonded. surrounding atoms, L indicates lone pair and n is the number of lone pair and M is the central atom of s or p block element). The possible range of 'n' is :
