Dec 11, 2012 Objective: To learn how to draw Lewis dot diagrams.

Pre class: Copy table 4 page 200 Read page 199 - 201

How do you figure out how many valence electrons an element has? group 1 has 1, group 2 has 2, group 13 has 3, group 14 has 4, group15 has 5, etc.... Count the atoms of each type in these compounds: CCl4 C2H6 C3H8 CO2

Dec 11 Key information about drawing a Lewis dot diagram 1. Draw Lewis dot diagram for each atom in the compound

2. Arrange the elements. Halogens on the ends, Carbon and other low electronegative elements usually in the middle, .

How would H2 bond? How would Cl2 bond?
