10.1 BONDING MODELS AND AIDS DRUGS
An American chemist named Gilbert N. Lewis developed the Lewis bonding theory in which
electrons are represented as dots.
→ The molecules represented are called Lewis structures or Lewis electron-dot formulas.
Today we use Lewis structures to determine how
atoms are arranged in a molecule and to predict the
3D shape of molecules.
→ Knowing the shape of a molecule allows us to
explain the observed properties and behavior of
these substances.
– For example, we can use the structure of the
caffeine molecule to explain how the
molecule acts as a stimulant.

10.2 REPRESENTING VALENCE ELECTRONS WITH DOTS
TYPES OF CHEMICAL BONDS
chemical bond: what holds atoms or ions together in a compound
The two types of chemical bonds are ionic bonds and covalent bonds.
– Ionic bonds hold ions together in ionic compounds.
– Covalent bonds hold atoms together in molecules.
10.3 LEWIS STRUCTURES OF IONIC COMPOUNDS: Electrons Transferred
Metals lose electrons from their valence shell
→ positively charged ions = cations
Nonmetals gain electrons, adding electrons to their valence shell.
→ negatively charged ions = anions
Elements tends to gain or lose electrons, so they will have the same number of electrons
as a Noble gas to become more stable.
→ Ions formed by main-group elements are usually isoelectronic with—i.e., have the
same number of electrons as—one of the noble gases!
