Question

Please explain this statement a multiple bond is treated as if it is a single electron pair and the two or three electron pairs of a multiple Bond are treated as a single super pair please explain the statement as according to vsepr theory.​

Answer 1

Answer:

THE 5TH POSTULATE OF VSEPR THEORY

Explanation:

According to the VSEPR theory, its 5th postulate says a multiple bonds is treated as a single electron pair and the 2 or 3 electron pairs of a multiple bonds are treated as a single pair.

IN GENERAL TERM it does not matter whether it is double pair or quad pair because it always assumes or takes as a single pair of electrons which means it takes as a single bond (group) it does  not consider as an anonymous group

Answer 2

Explanation:

• The fifth postulate of VSEPR theory states that A multiple bond is treated as a single electron pair and the two or three electron pairs of a multiple bond are treated as a single super pair.

• According to this, one multiple bond, which may either be a double bond or a triple bond should be regarded as a single pair of electrons. In other words, it should be considered as one single group and not separate groups.

• We know that a double bond is formed by sharing of four electrons while a triple bond is formed by sharing of six electrons. Thus a double bond consists of two electron pairs while a triple bond consists of three electron pairs. As we have regarded a double or a triple bond as a single electron pair, therefore the electron pairs constituting the double and triple bond too should be regarded as one big pair of electrons instead of two or three different pairs.

• So, two or three electron pairs of a multiple bond are treated as single super apir rather than different pairs.
