10-1 Lewis Theory: An Overview
• Valence e- play a fundamental role in
chemical bonding.
• e- transfer leads to
ionic bonds (metal-non metals)
• Sharing of e- leads to covalent bonds
(two non-metals)
• e- are transferred of shared to give
each atom a noble gas configuration
– the octet.

Lewis Symbols
• A chemical symbol represents the nucleus
and the core e- (inner shell)
• Dots around the symbol represent valence e.

Lewis Structure
(Dot and cross diagram)
• A lewis structure is a combination of Lewis
symbols that represents either the transfer or
the sharing of electrons in a chemical bond.

Note the use of the “fishhook” arrow to denote a single electron
movement. A “double headed” arrow means that two electrons
move.

Electronegativity (EN)
It is an atoms ability to compete for electrons with other atoms to which it is
bonded.
The lower the EN, the more metallic the element is
The higher the EN, the more nonmetallic the element is

Percent Ionic Character
Electronegativity difference, DEN =
the absolute value of the difference in EN values of the bonded atoms
DEN >1.5 (Ionic bond)

Practice Questions
10-4 Writing Lewis Structures
• All the valence e- of atoms must appear.
• Usually, the e- are paired.
• Usually, each atom requires an octet.
– H only requires 2 e-.
• Multiple bonds may be needed.
– Readily formed by C, N, O, S, and P.

Skeletal Structure
• Hydrogen atoms are always terminal atoms.
• Central atoms are generally those with the lowest
electronegativity.
– O is only central in peroxo (-O-O-) or a hydroxy go (-O-H)
• Carbon atoms are always central atoms (organic
molecules)
• Generally structures are compact and symmetrical.

Practice Problems
Formal Charge
These are apparent charges on certain atoms in a Lewis structure that arise when atoms
have not contributed equal # of electrons to the covalent bonds joining them
FC = # of valence e- in free atom - # of valence lone-pair e- - 1/2( # of bond-pair
e-)

• Sum of FC is the overall charge.
• FC should be as small as possible.
• Negative FC usually on most electronegative
elements.
• FC of same sign on adjacent atoms is unlikely.
