(i) \[Xe{{O}_{3}}\]

(ii)\[Xe{{O}_{4}}\]

(iii)\[Xe{{F}_{6}}\]

those having same number of lone pairs on\[Xe\] are

A)  (i) and (iii) only

B)         (i) and (ii) only

C)         (ii) and (iii) only

D)         (i), (ii) and (iii)

Correct Answer: B

Solution :

Hence, \[Xe{{O}_{3}}\] and \[Xe{{O}_{4}}\] have same number of lone pair\[(1\,\,\text{lp})\]on\[Xe\].
