(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The type of bonding electron domain should be identified for each molecule in given figure.

Concept Introduction:

The bonding electron domain is defined as the shared valence electrons (2, 4, or 6 electrons) which are localized between two core atoms.

This is classified as follows:

Single bond: two electrons or 1 pair;

Double bond: four electrons or 2 pairs;

Triple bond: six electrons or 3 pairs.

The non-bonding electron domain is defined as the pair of valence electrons which are not involved in bonding.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The number of electrons present in each bonding electron domain should be reported.

Unshared, or lone, electron pairs play an important role in determining the chemical and physical properties of organic compounds. Thus, it is important to know which atoms carry unshared pairs. Use the structural formulas below to determine the number of unshared pairs at each designated atom. Be sure your answers are consistent with the formal charges on the formulas. CH.
