Paragraph for Questions 14, 15 and 16:
The trigonal bipyramid is not a regular shape since the bond angles are not all the same. It
therefore follows that the corners are not equivalent in ClF3 molecule. Lone pairs occupy two of
the corners, and F atoms occupy the other three corners. These different arrangements are
theoretically possible, as shown in figure
(i) The most stable structure will be the one of lowest energy, that is the one with the minimum
repulsion between the five orbitals. The greatest repulsion occurs between two lone pairs. Lone
pair bond pair repulsions are next strongest, and bond pair-bond pair repulsions the weakest.
A rule of thumb can be theorised, that the position having maximum repulsion amongst them are
occupied at equatorial points. Therefore (3) structure is right.
(ii) Since double bond occupies more space compared to single bond therefore it will prefer
equatorial position.
(iii) More electronegative element will occupy axial position in case of trigonal bipyramidal
geometry
(iv) In case of sp 3d2 hybridisation lone pairs should be placed opposite to each other because all
the corners are identical.
