1. The Lewis Dot Structure
Packet #13

2. Introduction
Bonding involves just the use of valence electrons on the most outer shell of an atom.
For example, valence electrons are transferred when a metal and non-metal react
Ionic Bond
The Lewis Dot structure is a representation of a molecule that shows how valence electrons are arranged among the atoms in the molecule.

3. Introduction II
The general rule for writing Lewis Dot structures are based on the concept that “the most important requirement for the formation of a stable compound is that the atoms achieve noble gas electron configurations.

4. Examples of Lewis Dot Structures

5. Examples of Lewis Dot Structures
It is important to note that when completing the Lewis Dot structure for any atom, just like the Bohr Model, it should match what is seen when the electron configuration is completed.

6. Key Terms Electron pair Lone pair (unshared pairs) Bonding pair
Duet rule
Octect rule
