NEET · Chemistry · STD 11 - 4. Chemical bonding and molecular structure
Predict the correct order among the following :
- A bond pair \(-\) bond pair \(>\) lone pair \(-\) bond pair \(>\) lone pair \(-\) lone pair
- B lone pair \(-\) bond pair \(>\) bond pair \(-\) bond pair \(>\) lone pair \(-\) lone pair
- C lone pair \(-\) lone pair \(>\) lone pair \(-\) bond pair \(>\) bond pair \(-\) bond pair
- D lone pair \(-\) lone pair \(>\) bond pair \(-\) bond pair \(>\) lone pair \(-\) bond pair
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) lone pair \(-\) lone pair \(>\) lone pair \(-\) bond pair \(>\) bond pair \(-\) bond pair
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
According to \(V.S.E.P.R.\) Theory lone-lone pair repulsion is maximum because lone pair electron held by nuclei of one atom there for occupy more space. Repulsion \(\Rightarrow\) lone pair-lone pair \(>\) lone pair-bond pair \(>\) bond pair-bond pair
