Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to VSEPR theory, electron pair-electron pair repulsions are not all of equal magnitude; lone pair-lone pair repulsions are greater than lone pair-bonding pair repulsions, which in turn are greater than bonding pair-bonding pair repulsions.

According to the VSEPR Theory, All of the Electron Pair-Electron
