L.E.D.S: Lewis Dot Structure


Facts:
a.k.a Lewis Dot Diagrams, Electron Dot Diagram and Electron Dot Structures
Shows the bonding between atoms and electrons
named after Gilbert Newton Lewis


How To Do It

• Determine the Valence Electrons

Something like this...

Red dots are the valence electrons.

• Electrons must be placed into the structure.

Something like this...

* Always follow the Octet Rule: atoms combined in such way the have 8 electrons giving them the same number of electrons as a noble gas.

• Bonding pair is shared between two atoms. Transferring of electrons.

Something like this...

Multiple Bondings

Facts:

used when in need of more electrons from one element

Just like this...

The electrons of Magnesium was transferred to th two chlorine's.
