A bonding electron pair is attracted by of atoms?
Correct answer: B. Both nuclei of atoms
- A. One nucleus
- B. Both nuclei of atoms
- C. Lone pair
- D. Shared pair of electron
Explanation
Both nuclei of the atoms approach each other and forces of attraction and repulsion operate simultaneously, thus the bonding pair of electrons is attracted by both nuclei of atoms.

About Chemical Bonding
Chemical bonding explains molecular shape through VSEPR theory and distinguishes sigma bonds from pi bonds. Questions involve hybridization, bond angles, dipole moment and bond energy, including how electron-pair repulsion determines geometry and how bond polarity differs from the overall polarity of a molecule.
