Chemical Bonding and Molecular Structure

In BrF3 molecule, the lone pairs occupy equatorial positions to minimize

1. lone pair - bond pair repulsion only
2. bond pair - bond pair repulsion only
3. lone pair - lone pair repulsion and lone pair - bond pair repulsion

Which one of the following statements is not correct for sigma- and pi- bonds formed between two carbon atoms?

1. sigma-bond is stronger than a pi-bond.
2. Bond energies of sigma- and pi-bonds are of the order of 264 kJ/mol and 347 kJ/mol, respectively
3. Free rotation of atoms about a sigma-bond is allowed but not in case of a pi-bond.
4. Sigma-bond determines the direction between carbon atoms but a pi-bond has no primary effect in this regard.
