Given below are two statements :
Statement (I) : For $\displaystyle \underset{\cdot\cdot}{\overset{\cdot\cdot}{\mathrm{Cl}}} \mathrm{F}_3$, all three possible structures may be drawn as follows.
Statement (II) : Structure III is most stable, as the orbitals having the lone pairs are axial, where the lp-bp repulsion is minimum.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :
Official answer
From NTA’s final answer key for this paper.
(3)
