Question 1

What are the “Steps for Drawing Lewis Structures?”

Answer 1

1. Least electronegative atom is in center
2. Hydrogen cannot be central atom
3. Determine shared electrons and number of bonds (shared=need-available, S=N-A)
4. Arrange remainder of electrons to fill octets

Question 2

What are the Electronegativity Trends across the Periodic Table?

Answer 2

It Increases from the bottom left of the table to the top right of the table.
