- Electrons are shared between non-metals
- Drawing the Lewis Dot Diagrams:
- Total all valence electrons in all atoms
- Identify the element that can form the most bonds. This will be the central atom.
- Draw bonds between atoms as a line. This represents 2 e-
- Any e- not part of a bond are lone pairs around the atom
- Check to make sure each atom has a full octet
Double & Triple Bonds
- Some compounds form more than one bond between two elements
- Some compounds form more than one bond between two elements
