N2  - Calculations based on the minimization of the repulsion energy between electron pairs show that the structure of xenon hexafluoride is predicted if the non-bonding electron pair is situated close to the xenon atom. If a value of n = 6 is assumed in the repulsion law, the distance between the xenon atom and the effective centre of repulsion of the lone pair is approximately 10% of the distance between the xenon atom and the effective centres of repulsion of the bonding pairs.
