In `BrF_(3)` molecule, the lone pairs occupy equatorial positions to minimize

A

Lone pair- lone pair repulsion and lone pair-bond pair repulsion

B

Lone pair- lone pair repulsion only

C

Lone pair- bond pair repulsion only

D

Bond pair- bond pair repulsion only

Text Solution

Verified by Experts
