Drawing Lewis Diagrams for Molecules

Drawing Lewis Diagrams for Molecules. There are four steps which will allow you to successfully draw Lewis (electron dot) diagrams. They are: Step 1 Count the total number of valence electrons present in the molecule. Step 2 Connect the outer atoms to the central atom by single bonds. Step 3 Fill

    3. Step 1:Count the total number of valence electrons present in the molecule:

    4. Step 2: : Connect the outer atoms to the central atom by single bonds.

    5. Step 3: : Fill the octet for the outer atoms.

    6. Step 4: : Count the number of electrons used in the diagram. Assign remaining electrons to the central atom.

    8. Step 1:Count the total number of valence electrons present in the molecule:

    9. Step 2: : Connect the outer atoms to the central atom by single bonds.

    11. Step 4: : Count the number of electrons used in the diagram. Assign remaining electrons to the central atom.

    13. Step 1:Count the total number of valence electrons present in the molecule:

    14. Step 2: : Connect the outer atoms to the central atom by single bonds.

    15. Step 3: : Fill the octet for the outer atoms.

    16. Step 4: : Count the number of electrons used in the diagram. Assign remaining electrons to the central atom.

    17. Step 4: : (continued) Complete octet of central atom by forming multiple bonds

    19. Step 1:Count the total number of valence electrons present in the molecule:

    20. Step 2: : Connect the outer atoms to the central atom by single bonds.

    21. Step 3: : Fill the octet for the outer atoms.

    22. Step 4: : Count the number of electrons used in the diagram. Assign remaining electrons to the central atom.
