Double Bond 2 dashes = 4 electrons

What are Lewis structures?   Large biological molecules are made of

  carbon (C) – 4 bonds   nitrogen (N) – 3 bonds

  oxygen (O) – 2 bonds   hydrogen (H) – 1 bond

  To fill octet C, N, & O sometimes form double/triple bonds   H, I, Br, Cl and everything else = only single bonds

What is a Lewis structure?   There is a 3-step process for creating Lewis

structures: 1.  Draw Lewis symbols & count dots 2.  Arrange atoms so they have a full octet

  If necessary form a double/triple bond

3.  Count dots & make bonds

Molecular Models   Work with partner

1.  draw all the Lewis symbols 2.  draw the correct Lewis structure

3.  build a model using toothpicks and candy 4.  draw a picture of your model (label the atoms) 5.  identify the types of bonds present in molecule
