61. Total numbers of lone pair of electrons in I3 ion is
(1) 9 (2) 12 (c) (d)
(3) 3 (4) 6
Ans. (1) (1)
It is sp3d-hybridised and has linear stucture so it
has total 9 lone pairs. (2)

aqueous solutin?
(1) FaCl 3 (2) Pb(CH3COO)2 (4)
(3) Al(CN)3 (4) CH3 Cook Ans. (1)
Ans. (4) Due to conjugation of loan pair of electron with pie-
CH3COOK bond (c) is more basic than (d).
It is Salt of WA and SB so due to hydrolysis (d) is secondary amine whereas (a) is primary
its solution will be strongly basic. amine.
