31. In this reaction, the lone pair on the adjacent Tyrosine hydroxyl abstracts the proton off the carboxyl group. 32. The charged sites may be on the atoms or on dummy sites ( such as lone pairs ). 33. In furan a lone pair of the oxygen atom interacts with the ? orbitals of the carbon atoms. 34. They should be placed initially as lone pairs : one pair of dots for each pair of electrons available. 35. Ions with lone pairs have a greater ability to adapt their bonding strength to match that of the counter-ion. 36. Its tetrahedral symmetry is not perfect, however, because the lone pairs repel more than the single O H bonds. 37. One of the lone pairs on an oxygen from nitrite ion intermediates, increasing the percent yield of methyl nitrite. 38. The lone pair from the pyridine nitrogen pushes electron density to the gamma carbon, which is protonated by lysine. 39. Excess electrons that form lone pairs are represented as pairs of dots, and are placed next to the atoms. 40. Basically I'm wondering since ethers also have lone pairs to donate, whether they can interact with carbocations . ..
