Well I'm learning about Lewis structures and formal charges. I know how to do Lewis structure's but I cant seem to get how to do formal charges.
well, If you stop crying I'll gladly help you tommy. What do you need help with?
oh wow! I'm impressed tommy, can you explain how you do Lewis structure's so I can help you better from there.
Lewis-dot diagrams are pictures showing bonds between a pair of electrons and the atoms of a molecule.
Gilbert Newton Lewis came up with this structure in 1916.
Theory:Two atom attract each other by sharing a pair of electrons.
Step 1: Find the Total Number of Valence Electrons.
Step 2: Find the Number of Electrons Needed
Step 3: Draw a Skeletal Structure.
Rules
Step 6: Place Electrons Around Outside Atoms.
Step 7: Place Remaining Electrons Around the Central Atom
atoms- smallest unit of matter,Bonds - a link between atoms in molecules or compounds.Lone pairs - is an electron pair that is not bonded.molecules- A group of 2 or more atoms joining together.electrons- negatively charged Electrons that exist outside of and surrounding the atom.valence electrons- the electrons in the most out part of the shell.
