16Lewis Dot Structure Worksheet
Here are the basic steps involved in drawing the Lewis dot structure for a molecule:
a) Calculate the total number of valence electrons in the molecule (take the number of valence
electrons for each atom and add them together).
b) Draw the electrons around each atom. Put the atom that normally forms the most bonds in
the center.
c)
Each single bond contains 2 electrons.
In the spaces below, draw the Lewis structure for each molecule. Each molecule contains only single
bonds. Write the total number of electrons for each molecule in the upper right corner.
