differentiate between an ione pair and a bonded pair of electrons
Answers
Answer:
Difference Between Bond Pair and Lone Pair
Definition
Bond Pair: Bond pair is a pair of electrons that are in a bond.
Lone Pair: Lone pair is a pair of electrons that are not in a bond.
Bonding
Bond Pair: Bond pairs are always in bonds.
Lone Pair: Lone pairs are not in bonds but can form bonds by donating the lone pair (coordination bonds).
Atoms
Bond Pair: The two electrons belong to two atoms in bond pairs.
Lone Pair: The two electrons belongs to the same atom in lone pairs.
Origin
Bond Pair: A bond pair is created due to sharing of electrons by two atoms.
Lone Pair: A lone pair is created due to absence of empty orbitals.
Conclusion
Bond pair and lone pair are two terms used to describe coupled electrons. These electron pairs cause the reactivity, polarity, physical state and chemical properties of compounds. Ionic compounds may or may not have bond pairs and lone pairs. Covalent compounds and coordination compounds essentially have bond pairs. They may or may not have lone pairs. The difference between bond pair and lone pair is that a bond pair is composed of two electrons that are in a bond whereas a lone pair is composed of two electrons that are not in a bond.
Answer:
They may or may not have lone pairs. The difference between bond pair and lone pair is that a bond pair is composed of two electrons that are in a bond whereas a lone pair is composed of two electrons that are not in a bond.
