repulsive forces between unshared pairs of electrons
When atoms share electrons in one or more pairs, they form a new compound by covalent bonding.
Each iodine atom in a molecule of carbon tetraiodide has three non-bonding pairs of electrons.
The term "bonding pairs" usually refers to electrons, so they would be negatively charged.
These pairs of electrons are referred to as lone pairs.
CO2 does not have unshared pairs of electrons.

The nitrogen atom in ammonia has one unshared pair of electrons.
repulsive forces between unshared pairs of electrons
Oxygen has six (6) valence electrons. In the formation of a water molecule, two (2) of the valence electrons forms a covalent bond with two other hydrogen atoms leaving the water molecule with 2 unshared pairs of electron.
Yes it does for a fact
There would be three unshared pairs of electrons in a molecule of hydrogen iodide.
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
None
When atoms share electrons in one or more pairs, they form a new compound by covalent bonding.
Cl4 doesn't exist. It should be Cl2 and there will be 4 pairs of non bonding electrons on each chlorine.
