Number of bonding electron pair in SF5+ is 5 in number and non bonding electron pairs are 15 in the Lewis structure
Lewis dot structure also called as the electron dot structure are diagrams that describe the chemical bonding between atoms in a molecule. Along with that they also display the total number of electron pairs that are bonded to the atoms and also the electron pairs that are not bonded as well. Lewis structures extend the concept of the electron dot diagram by adding lines between atoms to represent shared pairs in a chemical bond.
In the above given question we need to find out the number of non bonding electron pairs and the bonding electron pairs of SF5+. This molecule is basically derived from SF6 molecule. When SF6 loosed one F atom it becomes SF5+. So we can see that the SF5+ has 5 bonding electron pair which are all bonded to the central S atom.
The non bonded electrons are present around the F atom to complete the valency. So each F atom has 3 pairs of electrons which means in total there are 15 non bonding electron pairs.
