  1. Electron Dot and Structual Diagrams for Covalent Compounds

  2. : - H O H O H H : : : - Lewis Structures • Structural Diagrams show the number of bonds in a compound. • Electron DotDiagrams show the electrons involved in the bonds of compounds. Non-bonding e- or lone pairs Bonding e- 1 pair of electrons = 1 bond

  3. Electron Dot Diagrams Determine the number of valence e- for an element.

  4. 7e- 8e- 1e- valence electrons 2e- 3e- 4e- 5e- 6e-

H Cl F S O P N C Si # valence e-1 7 7 6 6 5 5 4 4 # of bonds 1 1 1 2 2 3 3 4 4 When drawing structural diagrams, each element must have the correct number of bonds.

  6. Electron Dot Diagrams Each bond in the structural formula represents two electrons. All valence electrons must be used Each element must have a full valence orbital (8e-) , except H (2e-) Try C2H6

  7. First, determine the central atom (the one with the most bonding electrons): Carbon 4 e- Hydrogen 1 e- So the central atoms will be? C
