The molecule `AB_n` is planar with six pairs of electrons around A in the valence shell. The value of n isA. `6`B. `3`C. `4`D. `2`

Answer» Correct Answer - C
The presence of 6 valence shell electron pairs implies octahedral geometry. Planar shape implies two of the octahedral positions are occupied by lone pairs while others are captured by atoms. Thus, it is `AB_4E_2` molecule.
