(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.
