8. The Octet Rule in Covalent Bonding
Drawing Lewis Dot Structures:
Determine # of valence electrons.
Determine # of “octet” electrons.
*Note*– Hydrogen gets 2
# bonds = (# valence e- - # octet e-) / 2
Arrange atoms with # bonds from step 3.
Hydrogen & halogens bond one time
Group 6A elements bond 2 times
Group 5A elements bond 3 times
Carbon always bonds 4 times
Add electron pairs until all atoms have the correct number of electrons around them
Recheck your answer. Make sure have correct # of e-.

9. Exceptions to the Octet Rule
Molecules whose total number of valence electrons is an odd number.
2. Boron wants 6 electrons for neutral molecules.
3. Phosphorus and sulfur expand the octet to 10 or 12 electrons.

10. Ozone has two possible electron dot structures.
Resonance
Resonance structures: structures that occur when it is possible to draw two or more valid electron dot structures that have the same number of electron pairs for a molecule or ion.
Ozone has two possible electron dot structures.
