Lewis Dot Diagramming: Introduction

By Andrew Nelson

Lewis Dot Diagramming: Introduction

Objectives

​Some text here about the topic of discussion.

• ​Draw a Lewis dot diagram given an element

• ​Explain why we use Lewis Dot Diagrams

Multiple Choice

The outermost electrons are called what?

• Protonic Electrons

• Cloudy Electrons

• Valence Electrons

• Neutronic Electrons

​Why is This Important?

• Understanding how to read molecules is vital to high school and college science

• It also allows yo​u to understand molecular geometry (predicts function of the molecule)

​

Multiple Choice

Does it matter which empy spot you start from when filling in dots?

• Yes

• No

Multiple Choice

How many valence electrons does oxygen have?

• 2

• 4

• 6

• 16

End of Presentation

Draw the Lewis Dot Diagram for H, He, C, Fl, and Rb in your summary
