MCQ
In $Br{F_3}$ molecule,the lone pairs occupy equatorial positions to minimize
  • A
    Lone pair- lone pair repuilsion and lone pair-bond pair repulsion
  • Lone pair- lone pair repulsion only
  • C
    Lone pair- bond pair repulsion only
  • D
    Bond pair- bond pair repulsion only

Answer

Correct option: B.
Lone pair- lone pair repulsion only
(b) Bent $T-$ shaped geometry in which both lone pairs occupy the equatorial position of the trigonal bipyramidal here $({{l}_{p}}-{{l}_{p}})$ repulsion $= 0$

$({{l}_{p}}-{{b}_{p}})$ repulsion $= 4$ and 

$({{b}_{p}}-{{b}_{p}})$ repulsion $= 2$
