Amongst the following which one will have maximum lone pair–lone pair electron repulsions? [2022]
(4)
and contain 2, 1, 1 and 3 lone pairs of electrons on the central atom respectively. Hence, has maximum lone pair - lone pair repulsions.

In the structure of , the number of lone pairs of electrons on central atom 'Cl' is [2018]
one
two
four
three
(2)
The structure of is
[IMAGE 18]--------------------------
Hence, Cl has 2 lone pairs of electrons.
Predict the correct order among the following: [2016]
bond pair - bond pair > lone pair - bond pair > lone pair - lone pair
lone pair - bond pair > bond pair - bond pair > lone pair - lone pair
lone pair - lone pair > lone pair - bond pair > bond pair - bond pair
lone pair - lone pair > bond pair - bond pair > lone pair - bond pair
(3)
According to VSEPR theory, the repulsive forces between lone pair and lone pair are greater than between lone pair and bond pair which are further greater than bond pair and bond pair.
