Three bonding pairs, thus a pyramid.
false, it would be true if it didn't say ionic and instead said covalent bond.
The term "bonding pairs" usually refers to electrons, so they would be negatively charged.
3x single C-C bonding pairs: 3x2= 6 electrons 3x double C=C bonding pairs: 3x(2x2)= 12 electrons Total: 18 electrons
bonding electrons are when the electron have the same number and the connect,like valence electrons. Non-bonding electrons are only possible when an atom is unstable, no more than 2 electrons or if the atom is an isotope. bonding electron pairs occur in a covalent bond between two atoms. they include one electron from each atom in the covalent bond. non-bonding pairs do not take part in bonding. they are the left over electrons in the outter shell of the atom.
Consider: Number of bonding domains on the central atom Number of non-bonding electron pairs (lone pairs) on the central atom
Consider: Number of bonding domains on the central atom Number of non-bonding electron pairs (lone pairs) on the central atom

The repulsion between lone pairs are stronger than the repulsion between bonding pairs between one bonding pair and lone pair due to electrostatic interactions.
There are three bonding pairs of electrons in BF3. There are 0 nonbinding pairs, but BF3 can accept two more electrons to give it a complete octet
For this dot structure, start with the Be atom in the center. On the left and right sides are a single bond attached to a Cl atom. The unbonded sides of the Cl atoms then each have a pair of dots.
3 bonding pairs and one lone pair or non-bonding pair

because they are not paired....
Cl4 doesn't exist. It should be Cl2 and there will be 4 pairs of non bonding electrons on each chlorine.
