Lewis Structures LP and Lone e-

Front

What are lone pair electrons (LP)?

Back

Lone pair electrons (LP) are pairs of valence electrons that are not shared with another atom and are localized on a single atom.

Define lone electrons (lone e^-).

Back

Lone electrons (lone e^-) are single valence electrons that are not paired with another electron.

What is the role of lone pair electrons in molecular geometry?

Back

Lone pair electrons can affect the shape of a molecule by repelling bonding pairs, leading to different molecular geometries.
