According to VSEPR theory, the electron pairs around the central atom in
a molecule arrange themselves in space in such a way that they minimize
their mutual repulsion. The lone pair repulsion is much greater than the
bond pair repulsion.

(a) Name the electron pairs around the central atom in a molecule who
arrange themselves in space in such a way that they minimize their
mutual repulsion.

(b) Which parameter of the molecule is linked to mutual repulsion of
electron pairs?

(c) When the number of electron pairs around the central atom is five,
which geometry is predicted for the molecule?

(d) Which electron pair is known as the lone pair of electrons in a
molecule?
