선생님, I didn't get why the preferred model for the 5th electron domain with two lone pairs was the preferred one. Because you said the greater the angle, the less repulsion. Then isn't the model you drew, and said wasn't wrong, better than the one on the table? The one on the table, has two lone pairs placed together with a smaller angle.

Hi!

I saw two pics that you drew and attached, but they are technically same and have the same angle completely.😊

I attached here the T-shaped molecular geometry, which is 3D version. I hope it helps. 

 

Anyways, T-shaped molecular geometry has 90 degree bond angle between the one axial and the one equatorial. (It's about 90, but actually it's also little smaller than 90 due to the presence of the lone pairs)

 

For the angle between two lone pairs, it's actually little greater than 120 due to the repulsion. 

On the plane, there are three electron domains, right? One bonding pair and two long bonding pairs, so, two pics you have uploaded are completely equivalent. 

 

Thank you!

 

 

Best, 

Kelda
