Electron domain by Codex 0 2026-10-14
An electron domain is a region of electron density counted around a central chemical atom in the VSEPR model. One lone pair counts as one domain; a bond to one neighbour counts as one domain even when its bond order is two or three. Domain count is therefore different from simply counting electron pairs.
