because they do are not form hibridized overlapping of atomic orbitals,hence they do parallel overlapping in which electorn pair are shaired but they do not consider as active set in case of double and tripple covalent bond.

Why can multiple bonds be considered a single electron domain?

They can't be for some purposes, but for others, adding electrons to a bond doesn't change the fact there are electrons there and as they are in the same/very similar places in comparison to other bonds or lone pairs, they may as well be one electron.


What are postulates of vsepr theory?

1: Both the lone pairs asa well as the bond pairs participate in determining the geometery of the molecules 2: The electron pairs are arranged around the central polyvalent atom so as to remain at a miximum distance apart to avoid repulsions 3: The electron pairs of lone pairs occupy more space then the bond pairs from ncert:- 1)The shape of a molecule depends upon the number of valence shell electron pairs (bonded or nonbonded) around the central atom. 2)Pairs of electrons in the valence shell repel one another since their electron clouds are negatively charged. 3)These pairs of electrons tend to occupy such positions in space that minimise repulsion and thus maximise distance between them. 3)The valence shell is taken as a sphere with the electron pairs localising on the spherical surface at maximum distance from one another. 4)A multiple bond is treated as if it is a single electron pair and the two or three electron pairs of a multiple bond are treated as a single super pair. 5) Where two or more resonance structures can represent a molecule, the VSEPR model is applicable

What are paired electrons?

Pi electron pairs are electron pairs residing in the p orbital (as in s, p, d, f). This is the electron orbital responsible for double bonds and conjugated molecules according to molecular orbital theory.


What is the difference between a bonding electron domain and a non bonding electron domain?

bonding electrons are when the electron have the same number and the connect,like valence electrons. Non-bonding electrons are only possible when an atom is unstable, no more than 2 electrons or if the atom is an isotope. bonding electron pairs occur in a covalent bond between two atoms. they include one electron from each atom in the covalent bond. non-bonding pairs do not take part in bonding. they are the left over electrons in the outter shell of the atom.


How many unpaired electrons are in the boron atom?

In the element bromine (Br), there is only 1 unpaired electron. It has 7 valence electrons, so 3 pairs, plus an unpaired electron.
