Answer 1

Hi mate here is the answer:-

The standard application of VSEPR theory to this molecule is as follows:

• Central atom: chlorineValence electrons on central atom: 7
• Three fluorine atoms contribute: 1 each
• Total: 10 = five electron pairs.
• The highest repulsion is between any two “lone electron pairs”, resulting in these moving apart as far as possible

Hope it helps you ❣️☑️☑️
