For each word, provide a short but specific definition from YOUR OWN BRAIN! No boring textbook definitions. Write something to help you remember the word. Explain the word as if you were …

nsiderable importance in understanding the properties of many substances. Many molecules contain atoms bonded according to the octet rule, which states that an atom tends to bond with other atoms …

Valence electrons determine an element’s chemistry. Lewis dot symbols represent the valence electrons of an atom as dots arranged around the atomic symbol. Because they are defined as an amount of …

BONDING AND PROPERTIES ISSUES TO ADDRESS... What promotes bonding? What types of bonds are there? What properties are inferred from bonding?

PART 3: Use Lewis dot structures to show the covalent bonding in the following pairs of elements. Once you have determined the structure for the molecule, write its structural formula in the space provided; …

Bonding Basics Lesson Objectives: As a result of this lesson, students will be able to: 1 – Identify the number of valance electrons in a given atom. 2 – Describe and demonstrate how an ionic bond forms.

Electron pairs (bonding or lone pairs) in a molecule repel each other and will try and get as far away from each other as possible... this determines the shape.
