Chapter 5 Electron Dot Diagrams

Electron Dot Diagrams Step 1: Write the electron configuration

The valence electrons are the electrons in the outer energy level. Electron Dot Diagrams Step 2: Determine the number of valence electrons. The valence electrons are the electrons in the outer energy level.

Electron Dot Diagrams Step 3: Write the symbol of the element surrounded by valence electrons. Place one electron on each side (top, bottom, right, left) before pairing them up.

Draw the electron dot diagram for oxygen.

Draw the electron dot diagram for germanium. (Z = 32)

Draw the electron dot diagram for selenium. (Z = 34)

Draw the electron dot diagram for chlorine. (Z = 17)

Draw the electron dot diagram for carbon. (Z = 6)

Draw the electron dot diagram for tellurium. (Z = 52)

Draw the electron dot diagram for hydrogen. (Z = 1)

HCl vs H2O When hydrogen combines with chorine it does so in a 1:1 ratio. When hydrogen combines with oxygen it does so in a 2:1 ratio. Why?

Preview: Lewis Structures of moleules Lewis structures of molecules will not be part of this chapter test but they illustrate a common use of electron dot diagrams.

When hydrogen combines with chorine it does so in a 1:1 ratio.

When hydrogen combines with oxygen it does so in a 2:1 ratio.
