VSEPR theory can predict the structures of inorganic compounds. The perfect structures are also distorted to some extent due to repulsion amongst the pair of electrons. In general, the order of repulsion follows the order lone pair-lone pair > lone pairbonding pair > bonding pair-bonding pair.

Based on these information, answer the following three questions.
