Per NCERT §4.4, the order of repulsion between electron pairs in VSEPR is which?
Abp–bp > lp–lp > lp–bp
BAll three are equal
Clp–bp > lp–lp > bp–bp
Dlp–lp > lp–bp > bp–bp
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. lp–lp > lp–bp > bp–bp
Per NCERT §4.4, lp-lp largest (lone pair more diffuse), then lp-bp, then bp-bp. Explains bond-angle compressions.
