The world of the atoms can seem strange and counterintuitive, governed by probability. Still, we can't help but see parallels when we try to grasp their world through the lens of our own. In the language of chemistry, lone pairs are an atom's valence shell electrons that took part in hybridization but evaded the covalent bond formation with other atoms.

Lone pair is covered in detail in the chapter Fundamentals of Organic Reactions where we discuss various bond formation theories and other covalent bond properties.
