👉 Pentavalence is a concept in chemistry that describes the chemical structure of an atom or molecule. It refers to how many valences it has, with each type of valence (e.g., electron, lone pair, etc.) indicating its position within the atomic orbit. The term "pentavalence" indicates that the atom possesses three types of valences: one electron, two electrons, and a lone pair, which can be either positively or negatively charged.
