NEETChemistryChemical Bonding and Molecular StructureMCQ+4 / −1
Predict the correct order among the following :
- Abond pair - bond pair > long pair - bond pair > lone pair - lone pair
- Blone pair - bond pair > bond pair - bond pair > lone pair - lone pair
- Clone pair - lone pair > lone pair - bond pair > bond pair - bond pair
- Dlone pair - lone pair > bond pair - bond pair > lone pair - bond pair

Correct answer: C
According to VSEPR theory, the repulsive forces between lone pair and lone pair are grater than between lone pair and bond pair which are further greater than bond pair and bond pair.
