$lone \ pair - lone \ pair > lone \ pair - bond \ pair > bond \ pair - bond \ pair$

Vedclass · Answer

(A) According to the $VSEPR$ theory,the repulsion between electron pairs follows the order:
$lone \ pair - lone \ pair (lp-lp) > lone \ pair - bond \ pair (lp-bp) > bond \ pair - bond \ pair (bp-bp)$.
This is because a lone pair is under the influence of only one nucleus,whereas a bond pair is shared between two nuclei.
Therefore,lone pairs occupy more space and exert greater repulsion.
