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

Options

  1. ABond pairs are pairs of electrons shared between two atoms in a covalent bond, while lone pairs are unshared p
  2. BBond pairs are pairs of electrons on a single atom, while lone pairs are pairs of electrons shared between two
  3. CBond pairs and lone pairs both refer to pairs of electrons shared between two atoms in a covalent bond.
  4. DBond pairs and lone pairs are terms used interchangeably to describe pairs of electrons shared between two ato

Correct answer

A. Bond pairs are pairs of electrons shared between two atoms in a covalent bond, while lone pairs are unshared p

Step-by-step solution

Correct Option is : (A) Bond pairs are pairs of electrons shared between two atoms in a covalent bond, while lone pairs are unshared pairs of electrons on an atom.
