Ответ:
4 shared pairs
Explanation:
According to the VESPR, a molecule with a central atom C linked to 4 Cl would form a tetrahedral, whose angles are 109.5°. When more lone pairs are added, the repulsion is greater due to the unshared electrons leading to a distorted tetrahedral. The more lone pairs, the lower the bond angle.
