Interpretation:
The electron domain theory needs to be explained.
Concept introduction:
Electron domain theory is the theory which deals with the lone pair of electrons or bond location around an atom of a molecule.
Answer to Problem 2E
In a molecule, there are different number of electron pairs including lone pairs and bond pairs around an atom of a molecule. This is explained in electron domain theory.
Explanation of Solution
Electron domain means the region where the electron density is spread. When bonds of a central atom are considerted, the bonding pair electrons around the atom are determined. The atom can also have lone pair of electrons. Each bond between two atoms is an electron domain. This is the number of locations where electrons can be expected.
