<center><b>Lewis Dot Structure Help Page</b></center> <br> <br> <b><i>Hints on Determining Type of Bonding (shared pair of electron) in Lew Dot Structure</i></b><br> <br> 1. After determining the total number of electrons to put into Lewis Dot Structure, guess single bonds (one shaired pair of electrons) between each atom/element. Then fill in rest of electrons to follow Rule of Eight (Octet Rule) or exceptions as required.<br> <br> 2. Three conditions could occur at this point:<br> <br> a. Number of electron in Lewis Dot Structure = number of available electrons, (<b>right number of electrons) correct structure</b> (unless need to consider formal charge).<br> <br> b. Number of electrons in Lewis Dot Structure > number of available electron (<b>not enough electrons</b>), <b><nowiki>NEED TO SHARE MORE, NEED MULTIPLE BONDS</nowiki></b><br> c. Number of electrons in Lewis Dot Structure < number of available electron (<b>too many electrons</b>), <b><nowiki>DUMP ALL EXTRA ELECTRONS ON CENTRAL ATOM</nowiki></b><br> <br> <br> <br> <br>
