Question

Which of the following has maximum repulsion?
Ip-lp
Ip-bp
bp-bp
cannot be predicted​

Answer 1

Answer:

lp-lp,this is because the bond pair electrons are under the force of attraction of 2 atoms (sharing) so the repulsion would be less. But the lone pair electrons are under the attraction of only one atom so the relative repulsion is very high. lp-lp>lp-bp>bp-bp.

Answer 2

Answer:

lp - lp is correct one.

lp- lp
