Amongst the following which one will have maximum 'lone pair - lone pair' electron repulsions?

Options

A ${IF}_{5}$
B ${SF}_{4}$
C ${XeF}_{2}$
D ${ClF}_{3}$

Correct answer

C. ${XeF}_{2}$

Step-by-step solution

Amongst the following which one will have maximum 'lone pair - lone pair' electron repulsions?

As we can see that maximum number of lone pairs are present in ${XeF}_{2}$ . So maximum 'lone pair-lone pair' electrons repulsions will be in ${XeF}_{2}$ . Hence option $3$ is correct.
