Objective

After the completion of the lesson, students will be able to:

• create accurate structural formulas using Lewis dot symbols;
• describe the type of bonding found in molecular substances;
• explain the chemistry behind the HONC 1234 Rule;
• apply the octet rule to predict bonding in molecules; and,
• draw Lewis dot structures and structural formulas for molecules that contain double and triple bonds.

• Lewis Dot Structures of Covalent Compounds | from Wisconsin’s Technical Colleges. In this interactive, students distribute the valence electrons in simple covalent molecules with one central atom. Six rules are followed to show the bonding and nonbonding electrons in Lewis dot structures. The process is well illustrated with eight worked examples and two interactive practice problems.
• Practice Lewis dot structure | from CK 12 | Free Google sign in required. The activity allows you to practice lewis structure online.
• Practice Lewis dot structure | from Mcmillan learning
