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

What effect does a lone electron pair have on molecular shape?
The lone pair pushes bonding electron pairs away.
If all of the electron groups around a central atom are bonding groups (that is there are no lone pairs) what is the molecular geometry for two electron groups?
linear
What determines the molecular geometry of a molecule?
Consider: Number of bonding domains on the central atom Number of non-bonding electron pairs (lone pairs) on the central atom
What is the definition of lone pairs of electrons?
The lone pair electron region is the place around the central atom where electrons not bonding with another atom can be found. A lone pair of electrons are electrons that are not bonded with other atoms.
What are lone pairs in bonding?
because they are not paired....

What effect does a lone electron pair on molecular shape?
The lone pair pushes bonding electron pairs away.
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.
Why does the repulsion between lone pairs are stronger than the repulsion between bonding pairs or between one bonding pair and a lone pair?
Repulsion between lone pairs is stronger because they are closer to the nucleus and repel more strongly than bonding pairs. Lone pairs have less electron-cloud shielding compared to bonding pairs, resulting in increased repulsion. This leads to lone pairs pushing each other apart more forcefully than bonding pairs do.
How many loan pair in nh4 bonding?
NH4 WILL HAVE 1 LONE ELECTRON AS 4 GOT INCLUDING IN BONDING BUT IT CAN BE INSTEAD NH4+ THUS THE LONE ELECTRON HAS BEEN LOST THUS NH4+ HAS 4 bond pairs and no lone pairs
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
What causes a molecule to have a bent shape instead of a linear shape?
Sometimes proteins are folded, or bent as you say, in very complex shapes. There are several reasons for this. The shape is important in how the protein works. Ones that are misfolded don't work. There are even ones that cause disease because they are misfolded. Sometimes they have to be 'packaged' so that they will fit where they need to go. Our DNA molecule is vey long but it needs to fit into the cell nucleus. There are attractions between the atoms in the molecules that cause this folding.
If all of the electron groups around a central atom are bonding groups (that is there are no lone pairs) what is the molecular geometry for two electron groups?
linear
Which electron pair has the lowest electron electron repulsive forces?
The electron pair in a linear geometry (180 degree bond angle) experiences the lowest electron-electron repulsive forces because they are furthest apart from each other. This arrangement minimizes repulsion between electron pairs.
