A molecule with 5 electron domains has three lone pairs. What positions in the molecular geometry will the lone pairs occupy? Two will go in the axial positions, one in the equatorial plane. The placement doesn't matter so it will vary randomly. One will go in an axial position, two in the equatorial plane. All three will go in the equatorial plane.
