What is the difference between the arrangement of electron pairs and the shape of the molecules?

The shape of a molecule only describes the arrangement of bonds around a central atom. The arrangement of electron pairs describes how both the bonding and nonbonding electron pair are arranged.
For example, in its molecular shape, a water molecule is describes as bent, with two hydrogen atoms bonded to an oxygen atom. However, the arrangement of electron pairs around the oxygen atom is tetrahedral as there are two bonding pairs (shared with the hydrogen) and also two nonbonding pairs.

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 difference between the arrangement of electrons in sulfur and chlorine?
Chlorine has one more electron then sulfur, so it has 1 more electron in the outer shell, 1 more valence electron. Chlorine has 5 electrons in the outermost shell and sulfur has 4.
What is the difference of a light microscope and a scanning electron microscope?
A light microscope uses visible light to magnify and view specimens, offering lower magnification and resolution compared to a scanning electron microscope (SEM) which uses a focused beam of electrons to image the sample, providing higher magnification and resolution. SEM can produce 3D images of the sample surface while light microscopes typically provide 2D images.
What is the arrangement of molecules of matter?
The molecules in a solid are bonded together permanently. Liquid molecules, on the other hand, also have bonded molecules but they continuously break and reform with other molecules. Gas molecules are not bonded.
What is the difference between hydrogen and an electron?
Hydrogen is an element, the electron is a subatomic particle.
Why does ice have a difference difference density than liquid water?
It has a different amount of space between molecules.
What is the difference between a homogenous and a heterogenous mixture?
A principal difference between solid phases is the crystal structure, or arrangement, of the atoms
What is the difference between a proton and a hydrogen ion?
an electron
What is the difference between an ion and an electrolyte?
molecules
What is the difference between nucleophiles and electrophiles?
electrophiles are the electron deficient species whereas nucleophiles are the electron rich specie .the other difference is that electrophiles are the electron loving species and nucleophile are electron hating.
What is the relationship between the electron configuration of an element and the period in which that element appear in the periodic table?
Electron configuration is the arrangement of elements according to their increasing atomic numbers whiles period is the arrangement of elements according to the increasing number of valence electrons.
What molecules result from an even distribution of the electron cloud?
I think you're talking about nonpolar covalent molecules. These molecules share their electrons equally between atoms.
