Drawing Lewis Structures
1.
Sum the # of valence electrons from all atoms
Anions: add e– (CO32- : add 2 e– )
2.
Cation: subtract e– (NH4+: minus 1 e– )
Predict the arrangement of the atoms
• Usually the first element is in the center (often C, never H)
3.
4.
Make a single bond (2 e–) between each pair of atoms
Arrange remaining e– to satisfy octets (8 e– around each)
• Place electrons in pairs (lone pairs)
• Too few? Form multiple bonds between atoms:
double bond (4 e– ) and triple bond (6 e– )
5.
Check your structure!

All electrons have been used

All atoms have 8e-
Exceptions: Remember that H only needs 2e– !

• The actual structure is a hybrid (average) of the resonance
structures
• Technically NOT two single bonds and one double bond
• All 3 Oxygen atoms share the double bond
• 3 equal bonds (somewhere between a double and single)
Arrow formalism: curved arrows show electron movement
Predicting Molecular Shape: VSEPR
(Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion)
• Electrons repel each other
• The molecule adopts a 3-D shape to keep the
electrons (lone pairs and bonded e-) as far apart as
possible
• Different arrangements of bonds/lone pairs result in
different shapes
• Shapes depend on # of bonds/lone pairs (“things”)
and LP around the central atom

Electronegativity and Bond Type
The electronegativity difference between two elements helps
predict what kind of bond they will form.

Definition
Covalent

Polarity Examples
1. Check molecule for dipole moments (polar bonds)
2. When determining overall polarity, an imbalanced structure
will likely be polar (at least partially)
3. Even with polar bonds, a balanced structure is non-polar
overall
4. Any structure with lone pairs on the central atom is
automatically polar!
