Question

What do you understand by bond pairs and lone pairs of electrons?

Answer 1

hello Dost ☺

Your Answer :

When two atoms combine by sharing their one or more valence electrons, a covalent bond is formed between them.

The shared pairs of electrons present between the bonded atoms are called bond pairs.

All valence electrons may not participate in bonding. The electron pairs that do not participate in bonding are called lone pairs of electrons.

Answer 2

Answer:

Bond pairs – the pair of electrons which are involved in the formation of bond between bonded atoms are known as bond pairs.

Lone paird – the pair of electrons present on bonded atoms which donot take part in bond formation are known as lone pairs.

The bond pair of electron can either be shared or transferred between two bonded atoms.
