Lewis structure ch3 Flashcards
valence electron is __________but __for He or Helium instead of _______
a group number
but valence electron is 2 for He or helium instead of 8
decide if Lewis structure reasonable or not :
dots represent the valence electron
Lewis stucture
Lewis structure steps :
1-count the valence electron to each element and the total
2-determine if the compound ionic or covalent
3-put the leaset electronegativity in the center if the element from the same group but the least atom
4-put the electrons
5-octet rule(change in drawing as needed)
the most important exceptions :
1- hydrogen surrounded by two electron only in octet rule
2- helium has two not 8 valence electron
3- Hydrogen goes always on the outside
ionic compound
1-draw two seprated elements consist of loser and winner
covalent compound
1-draw connected compound or one compound
if the bond are too far ________if they are close attraction very strong
attraction are very weak
