In $ClF_{3}$ Total number of lone pair -bond pair repulsions on central atom at $9 0^{\circ}$ are (With out consideration of distortion):-

Options:

Answer:

Solution:

ClF₃ has 5 electron pairs (3 bond + 2 lone pairs). Lone pairs occupy equatorial positions. Each lone pair forms 2 LP–BP repulsions at 90°, so total = 2 × 2 = 4.
