Solution Summary: The author analyzes how the Lewis structure depicts the bonding between atoms and the lone pairs of electrons if exists.
Definition Definition Connection between particles in a compound. Chemical bonds are the forces that hold the particles of a compound together. The stability of a chemical compound greatly depends on the nature and strength of the chemical bonding present in it. As the strength of the chemical bonding increases the stability of the compound also increases.
