In `BrF_(3)` molecule, the lone pair occupies equatorial position minimize

A

lone pair-lone pair repulsion only

B

lone pair-bond pair repulsion only

C

bond pair-bond pair repulsion only

D

lone pair-lone pair repulsion and lone pair-bond pair repulsion.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
In `sp^3d` or `dsp^3` hybridisation lone pairs occupy equitorial positions to minimise lone pair-lone pair and lone pair-bond pair repulsions.
