(a)
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:
The number of electrons present in each bonding electron domain should be reported.
