If I have two lone pairs placed at oposite positions in a compound, so will there be any change in the bond angles? if the answer is no then please explain if I have 4 electron lone pair in the equatorial plane in a square bipyramidal geometry so what would be the change in the bond angles?

Solution

Even if the lone pairs are placed diametrically opposite to the central atom, the lone pairs will defenitely exert force on the surrounding groups and will therefore change the bond angles.
