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

  1. ClF3
  2. IF5
  3. SF4
  4. XeF2

Answer

(4) XeF2

Solution

Lone pairs on the central atom (VSEPR):

ClF3: sp3d, 3 bp + 2 lp (T-shape) ⇒ one lp–lp repulsion

IF5: sp3d2, 5 bp + 1 lp (square pyramidal) ⇒ no lp–lp repulsion

SF4: sp3d, 4 bp + 1 lp (see-saw) ⇒ no lp–lp repulsion

XeF2: sp3d, 2 bp + 3 lp (linear); all three lone pairs occupy the equatorial positions ⇒ three lp–lp repulsions at 120

∴ XeF2 has the maximum lone pair–lone pair repulsions.

Answer: (4)
