Which electron pair has the lowest electron electron repulsive forces?
Wiki User
∙ 12y ago
Two bonding pairs of electrons repel each other the least.
The order of electron electron repulsive forces is:
lp-lp > bp-lp > bp-bp
(bp = bonding pair)
(lp = lone pair)

Can acids donate an electron pair?
No, by the Lewis definition they accept an electron pair.
What effect does a lone electron pair have a molecular shape?
The lone pair pushes bonding electron pairs away.
What kind of substance accepts an electron pair hydroxide ion alkali base acid?
A Lewis acid accepts an electron pair.
Which substance accepts an electron pair?
A Lewis acid.
What effect does a lone electron have on a molecular shape?
The lone pair pushes bonding electron pairs away.
What effect does a lone electron pair have on molecular shape?
The lone pair pushes bonding electron pairs away.
Why NO2 is bent in shape?
NO2 is an odd electron molecule - it has 17 valence electrons. There is one unpaired electron which "sits" on the nitrogen. The VSEPR model deals specifically with electron pair repulsion so strictly you can't use it to predict the shape. However what you do is assume that the lone pair orbital is only half filled and is not as repulsive as a true lone pair. So treat it as AX2E compound and therefore bent, but as E is not so repulsive the ONO angle opens out to be greater than 1200, which is in fact true, its 134 0
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.
Do acids accept a pair of electrons?
according to Lewis theory acids act as electron pair acceptors bases act as electron pair donors
What is the electron pair geometry for CS2?
The electron pair geometry for CS2 is Linear.
Can acids donate an electron pair?
No, by the Lewis definition they accept an electron pair.
Diffirences of bonded and lone pair electron?
The difference between bonded and lone pair is that a bond pair is composed of two electron that are in a bond whereas lone pair is composed of two electron that is not a bond.
Scientists described a base as a compound that donates an electron pair?
The Lewis Theory describes a base as a compound that donates an electron pair. By donating the electron pair there is a covalent bond.
How does a lone pair distort a molecular pair?
A lone pair of electrons takes up space despite being very small. Lone pairs have a greater repulsive effect than bonding pairs. This is because there are already other forces needing to be taken into consideration with bond pairs. So to summarize: Lone pair-lone pair repulsion > lone pair-bond pair repulsion > bond pair-bond pair repulsion. This makes the molecular geometry different.
What is the Lewis acids-base theory?
acid: electron pair acceptor Base: electron pair donor
What does a lone electron pair have on molecular shape?
The lone pair pushes bonding electron pairs away.
What are covelant bonds?
Covalent bond, in chemistry, the interatomic linkage that results from the sharing of an electron pair between two atoms. The binding arises from the electrostatic attraction of their nuclei for the same electrons.
