Amongst the following which one will have maximum ‘lone pair – lone pair’ electron repulsions?

  1. A
    \( \text{SF}_4 \)
  2. B
    \( \text{XeF}_2 \)
  3. C
    \( \text{ClF}_3 \)

    \( \text{IF}_5 \)
View Answer & Solution

Correct answer · Option B

\( \text{XeF}_2 \)

Explanation

\( \text{XeF}_2 \) has steric number 5 (linear shape, \( sp^3d \) hybridization) with 3 lone pairs on the central Xe atom arranged at equatorial positions, resulting in maximum lp-lp repulsions (three 90° and three 180° lone pair-lone pair interactions).
