Drawing the Lewis Dot Structure of a Molecule...

First, a review of bonding...

And now the Lewis Structures of a Molecule...Watch this video and take notes on the five steps.

Following these 5 steps, work through the handout from class, starting with F and proceeding to the next page, and doing the first two rows on the backside.  Anything else is extra credit.  If you are stuck, type in "Lewis dots for co2", for example, in the search box at the top of the youtube page, and Dr. B will walk you through the steps.   [****ELECTRONEGATIVITY: the ability to attract electrons to itself***]
