Zinc tetrafluoride (ZeF4) has a molecular structure where the zinc (Zn) atom is the central atom bonded to four fluorine (F) atoms. Zinc typically does not have any lone pairs in its valence shell when it forms compounds. However, in the case of ZeF4, the geometry is often described as square planar due to the presence of two lone pairs on the zinc atom.
So, ZnF4 has 2 lone pairs on the zinc atom.
