Short slide show provides basic information about drawing Lewis dot structures for covalent compounds. Starts with anatomy of the atom, and then shows the relationship between atomic particles and the Periodic Table of Elements. Offers...

This page provides a thorough and comprehensible discussion of the structure of the atom. Includes helpful diagrams and instructions for filling electron shells, reading the Periodic Table, and drawing Lewis Structures.

Students draw and interpret Lewis dot diagrams for individual atoms and both covalent and ionic compounds.

This lesson focuses on chemical compounds including Ionic and Covalent Bonds, Valences, Lewis Structures, Binary Covalent Compounds, Radicals or Polyatomic Ions, and much more. It also includes a compound worksheet in which the students...
