Science Flashcards
He was an American physical chemist whose concept of electron pairs led to modern theories of chemical bonding.
Gilbert lewis
A system uses symbol of an element and one dot represent each
valence electron.
During the chemical bonding, an atoms need to attain eight electron in its outermost energy to become stable
(Octet Rule).
refers tothe tendency of atoms to prefer to have eight electrons in the valence shell.
octet rule
Atoms follow the octet rule by either
donating/accepting electrons or by sharing electrons.
: refers to the process where an atom, ion, or molecule gains an additional electron.
Accepting Electrons
: refers to the process where an atom, ion, or molecule loses an electron, which is typically part of oxidation reactions.
Donating Electron
: share pairs of electrons to achieve a more stable electron configuration, typically to complete their outer (valence) electron shell, achieving a noble gas-like configuration.
Sharing Electrons
– refers to the formation of a chemical bond between two or more atoms, molecules, or ions to give rise to a chemical compound
Chemical Bonding
Three Types of Chemical Bonding
Ionic bonding
Covalent Bonding
Metallic Bonding
He formulate a system in which atoms combine to achieve a more stable electron configuration after the development of periodic table.
Gilbert lewis
He devised a system of dot called the Lewis electron dot structure.
proposed the octet rule

Valence Electron
This rule dictates that atoms are most stable when their valence shells are filled with eight electrons
