What are Lewis Dot Structures?

Back

Lewis Dot Structures are diagrams that represent the valence electrons of an atom within a molecule. They show how the electrons are arranged around the atoms and how they bond with each other.

What is the significance of valence electrons in bonding?

Back

Valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost shell of an atom and are involved in forming bonds with other atoms.

Front

What is the octet rule?

Back

The octet rule states that atoms tend to bond in such a way that they have eight electrons in their valence shell, achieving a stable electron configuration.

Front

How do you determine the number of valence electrons for an element?

Back

The number of valence electrons can be determined by looking at the group number of the element in the periodic table.

Front

What is a covalent bond?

Back

A covalent bond is a type of chemical bond where two atoms share one or more pairs of valence electrons.
