Lewis Dot Structures &
Covalent Bonding
Lewis-Dot Structures• Find out which group
(column) your element is in.
• This will tell you the number of valence electrons your element has.
• You will only draw the valence electrons.
Groups - Review
•Each element in a group has the same number of electrons in their outer orbital, also known as “shells”.
Except for He, it has 2 electrons
•The electrons in the outer shell are called “valence electrons”
Lewis-Dot Structures
1) Write the element symbol.
2) Carbon is in the 4th group, so it has 4 valence electrons.
3) Starting at the right, draw 4 electrons, or dots, counter-clockwise around the element symbol.

In an IONIC bond,electrons are lost or gained,resulting in the formation of IONSin ionic compounds.

The compound potassium fluorideconsists of potassium (K+) ions
and fluoride (F-) ions

The ionic bond is the attractionbetween the positive K+ ion
and the negative F- ion
In covalent bonding,atoms still want to be likea noble gas (the octet rule).
But rather than losing or gaining electrons, atoms now share an electron pair.
Covalent bonding example:
Carbon =
Covalent bonding example:
Carbon now has an octet.
All hydrogen atoms now have 2 electrons
