Lewis Structures of Atoms
1. Identify the Number of Valence Electrons and Draw the Lewis Dot Structure
Notes: Chemists use Lewis Dot Structures to show the valence electrons of an element as dots.
Since bonding involves the valence shell electrons only, it is only necessary to illustrate those outer
electrons.
