00:01 We are going to see the new structure of the given compounds, louis structure of the compounds which are having two non -bondid pairs of electron.
00:16 Non -bondid pairs of electron.
00:21 Non -bondid pair of the electron means the electrons which are not involved, not involved in formation of the bond.
00:33 Formation of bond.
00:38 The first given compound is h to x.
00:44 Here the number of balance electron of sulfur over here is 6 and it is making number of bond pairs.
00:57 Number of bond pairs is 2.
01:01 So, number of non -bondid electron pairs will be 6 minus 2 divided by 2 that is equal to 2.
01:18 So here we can see the non -bondid electron pair is 2 and from the lewis structure, how it is possible, sulfur making bond with 2 hydrogen and here we will see 2 non -bondid pair of electrons are present.
01:38 Hence h2s is the compound which is having two non -bonded pair of electrons.
01:43 Next compound is in case of nh3.
01:48 In case of nh3 number of balance electrons of nitrogen is 5 and number of bond pairs it is having is 3.
02:03 So non -bonded electron pairs, non -bonded electron pairs will be one...
