Covalent Bonds: These are the “S” in WSQ. You must have them under your video notes completed by the due date on the Unit Plan.

Part 1: Draw the following Lewis Dot Structures (remember to use the valence electrons)

 

Part 2: This part is harder. Follow the following rules:

Guidelines for Drawing Lewis Dot Structures for Molecules:
1. The octet rule1 says that atoms “try” to have 8 valence electrons by sharing or transferring
electrons to form compounds. Hydrogen only has 2 electrons in its “octet”.
2. Put the atom which can share the most electrons in the middle.
3. Some atoms can share two or three pairs of electrons (usually it is either C, N, or O)
4. put the hydrogen atoms on last
5. hydrogen NEVER shares two pairs of electrons.
6. fluorine NEVER shares two pairs of electrons.
7. fluorine ALWAYS obeys the octet rule.
8. Any structure which obeys the octet rule (and makes chemical sense) is more 'correct' than any
structure that violates the octet rule.

 

Part 3: Onto Naming and formula writing:

Write the name of each of the following compounds.

1.  HF                                                                                                   1.  ______________________

HOT Question

Question about your Notes: write your question following the guidelines below:

Question- asking Higher Order Thinking (HOT) questions; use the following as your guide:
1. A question that you are still confused about (be specific, include which part of the video, etc)
2. A question that connects the videos together (i.e. asking about the relationship between the content)
3. A question you think you know the answer to, but you want to challenge your classmates with
