l.p - l.p > l.p - b.p > b.p - b.p is correct for the repulsive interaction of electron pairs. The Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion (VSEPR) Theory states that bond pairs of electrons (bp) are more strongly attracted to one another than lone pairs of electrons (lp).
Valence shell electron pair repulsion theory, or VSEPR theory
- It is a model that forecasts each molecule's geometry based on the number of electron pairs surrounding their core atoms.
- In honor of its two primary creators, Ronald Gillespie, and Ronald Nyholm, it is sometimes known as the Gillespie-Nyholm theory.
- The fundamental idea behind VSEPR is that the valence electron pairs that surround an atom have a tendency to reject one another and would therefore arrange themselves in a way to minimize this repulsion.
- In turn, this lowers the energy of the molecule and raises its stability, which establishes the molecular geometry.
Summary:
Which statement is correct for the repulsive interaction of electron pairs?
l.p.-l.p. > l.p.-b.p. The correct formula for the repelling interaction of electron pairs is b.p. The decreasing order of repulsion is lp - lp > lp - bp > bp - bp.
