Which one of the following compounds is having maximum 'lone pair-lone pair' electron repulsions?

Options

  1. AClF ₃
  2. BIF ₅
  3. CSF ₄
  4. DXeF ₂

Correct answer

D. XeF ₂

Step-by-step solution

XeF ₂ has three lone pairs and two bond pairs. The three lone pairs are arranged in the equatorial positions because of which they face maximum repulsion from each other.
