Lone pair-lone pair repulsion and lone pair-bond pair repulsion

Vedclass · Answer

(D) In the $BrF_3$ molecule,the central $Br$ atom has $2$ lone pairs and $3$ bond pairs,resulting in a $T$-shaped geometry.According to $VSEPR$ theory,lone pairs occupy equatorial positions to minimize the repulsion between them and with the bond pairs.The equatorial lone pairs are positioned to minimize both $lp-lp$ (lone pair-lone pair) and $lp-bp$ (lone pair-bond pair) repulsions.
