Electron Dot Structures/Lewis Structures

In this chemical compounds worksheet, students complete a graphic organizer by determining the electron dot formula, molecular shape, bond angle, bond polarity, and molecular polarity for 7 given compounds.

After drawing the valence electron distribution of 13 basic elements, there are spaces to draw 18 more complicated molecules.  For each molecule, there is space for a Dot structure and Lewis structure that best describes the...

Four pages provide plenty of problem solving practice for chemistry whizzes. They answer questions and write electron configurations for ions. They use Lewis dot diagrams to display equations. Covalent bonds are explored. The last half...

Almost a complete lesson in itself, this presentation will enhance any bonding and compounds unit. The concepts included are charges of atoms lending to particular molecular structures, the stability of bonds and how to diagram them....

Atomic models help us visualize the interactions of substances we cannot see. Explore atomic models, specifically Lewis structures, that show valence electrons and their role in bonds.

You think all of the good periodic table jokes argon? I don't zinc so! Video discusses electron dot structures based on valence electrons. It highlights the arrangement of the periodic table and the stability of the noble gasses. This is...

Sharing just makes you feel good ... especially if you're a non-metal! Young chemists examine bonding basics with a video from JFR Science. Topics include how covalent bonding differs from ionic bonding, how covalent bonding works, and...

Introduction to drawing positions of electrons in Lewis Dot Structures. [14:42]

"The name is Bond. James Bond." Or is that "Chemical Bond?" Assign the viewing of the video as homework, and then have your chemists come to class to practice drawing electron dot diagrams and Lewis structures with the several bonus...

Electron dot diagrams seem simple, but does bonding complicate the notation? The video explains how to draw dot and cross diagrams when bonding exists. It describes both covalent and ionic bonding and the different ways of depicting...
