In molecule,the lone pairs occupy equatorial positions to minimize
Lone pair- lone pair repuilsion and lone pair-bond pair repulsion
Lone pair- lone pair repulsion only
Lone pair- bond pair repulsion only
Bond pair- bond pair repulsion only
The structure of BrF3.
As given in the image, the lone pairs of electrons occupy an equatorial position.
This position is occupied to minimize lone pair-lone pair repulsion and lone pair-bond pair repulsion.
Hence, the correct answer is Option (1)
