Covalent Bonding - Electron Dot Structures

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

A short paragraph helps explain how covalent bonds are formed, and then your class will complete the Electron/Dot and Structural diagrams for the molecules given.  The valence diagrams will reinforce understanding. This activity would be a nice, simple review.
