SNC2D1: Notes Chemistry LEWIS DOT DIAGRAM – Ionic Compounds A Lewis Dot Diagrams is a convenient and simplified model that can also be utilized to demonstrate the structures of chemical compounds and how electrons are involved in the formation of compounds. This model shows only the valence electrons of a particular atom (represented by little dots) and the symbol of that atom. Some examples of Lewis Dot Diagrams Ionic Bonds Recall that metals become positively charged by losing valence electrons and nonmeals become negatively charged by gaining electrons. The electrostatic forces between positive and negative ions create an ionic bond. Master Yoda Much Learning You Have Yes! Formation of Ionic compounds Metal + Non – Metal Instructions: For each pair of elements, sketch a diagram to show the transfer of electrons that occur when these two elements react.

Representing Molecular Compounds Using Lewis Dot Diagrams Recall that a covalent bond is the attraction between atoms that results from the sharing of electrons. A molecular compound is a chemical compound that is held together by covalent bonds. Molecular bonds can also be represented using Bohr-Rutherford diagrams or simplified Lewis Dot. Unpaired electrons are likely to participate in chemical bonds. The Octet Rule still applies.
