A covalent molecule AB_(3) has trigonal pyramidal structure. The number of lone pair and bonding pair of electrons in the molecule are ...... .

Answer»

2 and 2
3 and 1
1 and 3
0 and 4

Solution :1 and 3
`AB_(3) and AB_(3)` E are the same type ATOM. There are `sigma` type three A - B BOND in it and one nonbonding electron pair on A.

Due to this non bonding electron pair and as per the principal of VSEPR three A - B bonds come closer and FORM the pyramidal triangle structure.
