Lewis Dot Structures

The video tutorial explains how to draw Lewis dot structures, which represent atoms and their valence electrons. It covers the formation of covalent bonds, including sigma and pi bonds, and discusses the concept of formal charge and polyatomic ions. The tutorial also addresses the octet rule and its exceptions, providing examples with different elements. The goal is to help viewers understand how atoms form covalent networks and how to accurately depict these structures.

What happens to the formal charge of nitrogen in the ammonium ion compared to its neutral state?

Describe how larger atoms like phosphorus and sulfur can form multiple covalent bonds.
