Q55 / 200 · NEET 2022 (Phase 1) · Chemistry

Amongst the following which one will have maximum 'lone pair - lone pair' electron repulsions?

A
${IF}_{5}$
B
${SF}_{4}$
Correct answer
C
${XeF}_{2}$
D
${ClF}_{3}$

Solution

As we can see that maximum number of lone pairs are present in ${XeF}_{2}$ . So maximum 'lone pair-lone pair' electrons repulsions will be in ${XeF}_{2}$ . Hence option $3$ is correct.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
