* Drawing mechanism During the reaction the pairs of electrons change from one kind of pair to another: for example These electron movements are shown by curly arrows which start on the original electron pair and end where the electrons have gone. a lone pair changes into a pi pair a pi pair changes into a lone pair a sigma pair changes into a lone pair * Drawing mechanism For the reaction to happen, a new bond must be made between the oxygen of the water molecule and the hydrogen atom of the hydrogen chloride. Also the bond between the hydrogen and the chlorine atom must break. These change
