Chemical Bonding and Molecular Structure - Result Question 41
####42. Predict the correct order of electron repulsion among the following :
[2016]
(a) lone pair- lone pair > lone pair - bond pair > bond pair - bond pair (b) lone pair - lone pair $>$ bond pair - bond pair $>$ lone pair - bond pair
(c) bond pair - bond pair > lone pair - bond pair > lone pair - lone pair
(d) lone pair - bond pair $>$ bond pair - bond pair > lone pair - lone pair
Show Answer
Solution:
- (a) According to VSEPR theory order of repulsion in between $lp-lp, lp-bp$ and $bp-$ $bp$ is as under
$lp-lp>lp-bp>bp-bp$
