Q. According to VSEPR theory the repulsion between different pair (lone or bond) of electrons obey the order
A) lp bp lp lp bp bp
B) lp bp bp bp lp lp
C) lp lp lp bp bp bp
D) bp bp lp lp lp bp
Explanation
(c)
According to valence shell electron pair repulsion (VSEPR) theory, the order of repulsive interactions between various electron is
