Covalent Bonding Practice!

Practice covalent bonding and drawing Lewis structures for molecules like NH3 and CO2. Understand valence electrons and molecular representations.

How Many Bonds Can This Element Make? Element Name How many bonds can be made? Carbon 4 Nitrogen 3 Hydrogen 1 Oxygen 2 Fluorine 1 Silicon 4 Let's look at NH3 How many bonds can Nitrogen Make? 3How many bonds can Hydrogen Make? 1 What element should be in the center? Hydrogen Nitrogen Draw the lewis structure for all the elements in NH3 and predict the bonding Based upon what you have seen above draw the Dot representation for NH3 Based upon what you have seen above draw the structural representation for NH3 Let's Look at CO2 How many bonds can these elements make? How many bonds can Carbon make? 4How many bonds can Oxygen make? 2 What element should be in the middle? Carbon Oxygen Draw the lewis structure for all the elements in CO2 and predict the bonding Based upon what you've seen above draw the dot representation for CO2 Based upon what you figured out above draw the structural representation for CO2
