How do you combine atoms by sharing electrons?

Yes, that is called covalent bonding which is a bond formed from a shared pair of electrons.

What is the attraction of two atoms for a shared pair of electrons that holds the atoms together.?

Sharing of electrons between two atoms is called covalent bonding.


How the lone pair of electrons of aromatic amines involved in hydrogen bonding despite their involvement in delocalization?

When lone pair of nitrogen becomes involved in resonance process (deloclization) the aromatic ring acquires the negative charge so it is also a negative pole for partially positive hydrogen of other molecule and when lone pair is on nitrogen then hydrogen bonding is also possible, it may be said that it is deloclized hydrogen bonding among the molecules.


What is difference between lone pair and non bonding pair of electrons?

A lone pair- as the name suggests is a pair of electrons which has not yet been shared with any other atom


Why the repulsion caused by lone pair is greater than bonding pair?

lone pair has more electrons than bond pair


What is a lone pair?

A lone pair is elements in a chemical reaction that are not used in the reaction.


What is the difference between lone pair and bonding pair electron?

they are the same. Lone pair is unshared pair of electrons and bond pair is shared pair of electron.


What is the chemical bond resulting from the sharing of valence electrons by two atoms?

The simple answer is a Covalent bond. Polar covalent bonds have an unequal sharing. Pi bonds, which also involve can lead to a delocalisation of the electron pair. Multicentre bonds such as the so-called banana bond in diboarne has a pair shared across a B-H-B bridge.
