Which one of the following compounds is having maximum 'lone pair-lone pair' electron repulsions?
- A \(\mathrm{ClF}_3\)
- B \(\mathrm{IF}_5\)
- C \(\mathrm{SF}_4\)
- D \(\mathrm{XeF}_2\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) \(\mathrm{XeF}_2\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\mathrm{XeF}_2\) has three lone pairs and two bond pairs. The three lone pairs are arranged in the equatorial positions because of which they face maximum repulsion from each other.
