Question

Select all the statements that correctly explain why lone pairs prefer to occupy equatorial positions in a system with five electron domains. Check all that apply. A larger bond angle leads to more electron repulsion. Alone pair in an axial position will be too far away from the other electron pairs. There is less repulsion between electron domains in equatorial positions. Alone pair in an equatorial position has more space. Do you know the answer?
