Vocabulary: “domain”
= any electron pair or bond (single, double or triple) is considered one domain.
“bonding pair” = “shared pair” = any electron pair that is involved in bonding

On the right, the 4th lone pair, is not seen as part of the actual molecule, yet affects shape.
If another one of the bonding pairs on “trigonal pyramidal” were a lone pair, what is the result?

Polar bonds vs. Polar molecule
n Not all molecules with polar bonds are polar. n It depends on the symmetry of the molecule n Electrons will be pulled toward the most
electronegative element in the bond. n Different elements will pull electrons
proportional to their electronegativity values. n If electrons are evenly distributed, then the
molecule is nonpolar.

Dipole Moment and Molecular Geometry
Molecules that exhibit any asymmetry in the distribution of electrons would have a nonzero net dipole moment. These molecules are considered polar.
