    (1) The document provides guidelines for drawing Lewis dot structures, including calculating valence electrons, drawing a skeletal structure, deducting electrons for bonds, and completing octets with remaining electrons or by forming double/triple bonds. (2) It gives an example of drawing the Lewis structure for sulfur trioxide (SO3), which has a total of 24 valence electrons and a trigonal planar molecular geometry with a double bond to complete the octets. (3) The worksheet then has students draw Lewis structures, identify molecular geometries and whether each molecule is polar or nonpolar for various molecules ranging from single, double, and triple bonds.

    CHAPTER 1- WORSHEET

    Guidelines for drawing simple Lewis dot formulas (electron dot formulas):

    (1) Calculate the total number of valence electrons


    (2) Draw a skeletal structure using single bonds to connect atoms to a central atom (least electronegative
    atom)
    (3) Deduct one pair of valence electrons (2e- total) for each single bond drawn in Step #1, then use the
    remaining pairs to complete octets for the other atoms
    (4) If there are not enough electrons to complete an octet for each atom, because the molecule is short 2
    e-, then move a nonbonding electron pair (an unshared pair) between two atoms that already share an
    electron pair to create a double bond. If the molecule is short 4 e-, then move nonbonding pairs to
    create either two double bonds or one triple bond.
    (5) Check your work. Make sure all atom have 8 electrons (except for Hydrogen) Octet Rule.

    Example 1: Draw the Lewis dot structure formula and build the molecular model of sulfur trioxide, SO3.
    (1) Calculate the total number of valence electrons.
    (2) Draw a skeletal structure with a central S atom.
    (3) Deduct a pair of electrons for each of the single bonds drawn in Step #1. Use the remaining pairs to
    complete octets for each of the other atoms.
    (4) If there are not enough electrons to provide an octet for each atom, move a nonbonding (unshared)
    electron pair between two atoms that already share an electron pair.
    (5) Check your work. [Hint: Did you need a double bond?]
