Question

question 1 1 pts valence bond theory teaches that a __________results when orbitals on two atoms overlap. lone pair valance bond electrostatic bond covalent bond

Explanation:

Valence bond theory focuses on the overlap of atomic orbitals. A covalent bond is formed when orbitals from two atoms overlap. A lone pair is an unshared pair of electrons on an atom and not related to orbital overlap in this context. "Valance bond" is a misspelling (should be valence bond, but even then, the theory's key term for the bond formed via orbital overlap is covalent bond). An electrostatic bond (ionic bond) is due to electrostatic attraction between ions, not orbital overlap.

Answer:

covalent bond
