Question

Identify the bonding and non bonding electron pairs in F2.

Answer 1

Answer:

There is no such thing as a lone pair of atoms. Are you referring to a lone pair of electrons? Fluorine h atom has 7 valence electrons. In fluorine molecule, the two fluorine atoms each donate one electron to the bond and then share that bonding pair. each of the atoms then has 6 valence electrons not involved in the bond, so each fluorine atom has three lone pairs of electrons on it. The molecule of fluorine has six lone pairs of valence electrons.
