The document provides information about Lewis structures and bonding. It discusses the 3-step process for drawing Lewis structures: 1) draw Lewis symbols and count dots, 2) arrange atoms to achieve octets, 3) count dots and draw bonds. Examples are provided for O2, N2, and CCl4. Students then practice drawing Lewis structures and building molecular models in groups. An exit slip assesses understanding of bond types and practice drawing structures for CO2, C2H2, NH3, and SiF4. Homework is to complete a Lewis symbol and ions worksheet.

4. What are Lewis structures?
 Lewis structures are…
 pictures of covalent molecules
 nonmetal and nonmetal share to get 8

5. What are Lewis structures?
 Cocaine
Double Bond
 C17H21NO4 2 dashes = 4 electrons

6. What are Lewis structures?
 Large biological molecules are made of
 carbon (C) – 4 bonds
 nitrogen (N) – 3 bonds
 oxygen (O) – 2 bonds
 hydrogen (H) – 1 bond
 To fill octet C, N, & O sometimes form double/triple
bonds
 H, I, Br, Cl and everything else = only single bonds

7. What is a Lewis structure?
 There is a 3-step process for creating Lewis
structures:
1. Draw Lewis symbols & count dots
2. Arrange atoms so they have a full octet
 If necessary form a double/triple bond
3. Count dots & make bonds
