figure 1. allotropes of the element carbon. a. crystalline structure of diamond. b. crystalline structure of graphite. © 2013 science interactive, michael strock shutterstock.com, image(s) used under license from shutterstock.com. some rights reserved. many properties and characteristics are involved in chemical bonding and molecular structure and function including bond strength, polarity, and atomic orbitals. the focus of this lab is the localized electron model. this model assumes that a molecule is bonded through the sharing of valence electron pairs. the localized electron model also highlights valence electron arrangement, lewis structures, and molecular shape. question time! the localized electron model assumes that a molecule is bonded through the ____. sharing of valence electron pairs transfer of valence electron pairs

Explanation:

The text clearly states that the localized - electron model assumes a molecule is bonded through the sharing of valence - electron pairs.

Answer:

A. sharing of valence electron pairs
