II. Bonding and Molecular Structure
B. Drawing Lewis structures
1. Count all the valence electrons add one for
each charge subtract one for each
charge 2. Draw single bonds between the atoms
(the connectivity of the atoms is determined
experimentally and is usually given in the
problem). 3. Using the remaining valence
electrons place octets on all atoms (exception
H) in order of decreasing electronegativity. 4.
If atoms do not have octets use lone pair
electrons on adjacent atoms to form double or
triple bonds to complete the octets. 5. Determine
formal charges. 6. The better Lewis structure is
the one -with fewer formal charges -with more
octets -with a charge on a more
electronegative atom and vice versa

C. Formal charges
(Use the silly complex formula in the textbook
or use this easier method.) 1. Divide the
electrons in each bond equally between the two
atoms sharing them. 2. Count the number of
electrons each atom now has and compare this
number to its normal valence. -more electrons
than normal valence negative formal
charge -fewer electrons than normal valence
positive formal charge Question 1-4. Draw the
Lewis structures then determine the formal
charge on each atom in the following molecules or
ions. Check your answer by clicking on the
