Lewis Structures

Lewis structures was the first things that we talked about, and this helped us learn everything after it. A lewis structure is a method of drawing compounds and showing their valence electrons, where bonds are shown with lines and lone pairs are shown with dots.

Here is a quick explanation on how to draw them: http://www.chem.ucla.edu/harding/lewisdots.html


Here are a couple compounds that you can practice drawing lewis structures for:

Here is a link to a video where they show you how to draw them. This can be helpful when you are drawing the ones from above: https://www.khanacademy.org/science/chemistry/chemical-bonds/copy-of-dot-structures/v/drawing-dot-structures

Here is a link to a website that provides any lewis structure you need so you can check your answers: http://www.wolframalpha.com/widgets/view.jsp?id=689aa5a01c216d8b16ed0250cebdc702

Here is an example of  the Lewis Structure for water.
