What is the difference between lone pairs and bonded pairs?
How to identify in a given compound?
Plz explain elaborately.
As the name suggests, a bonded pair is involved in bonding whereas a lone pair is free and doesnot form any bond. But it can form a bond during a reaction with other compound. To identify you need to know the valency and electronic configuration of each element of the compound and the octet rule. Please refer to a standard textbook (like NCERT class XIth chemistry textbook) to get a proper understanding because there are exceptions to these things.
