"General Chemistry 1 Learning Activity Sheet No.7 Lewis Structure of Molecular Covalent Compounds" Nino M. Perialde Grade XI - STEM1

This document is a learning activity sheet for general chemistry students on drawing Lewis structures of molecular covalent compounds. It provides 10 examples of compounds to draw the Lewis structure for, including SiH4, SO3, H2S, CH2Br2, HCN, NH4+, PO43-, NO3-, CO32-, and CHO2. The activity sheet asks students to determine the number of valence electrons for each atom in a compound and draw the Lewis structure to show how the atoms share electrons to achieve stable octet configurations.

Analysis:
1. A water molecule consists of two bonding pairs and two lone pairs. As for methane
and ammonia, the domain geometry for a molecule with four electron pairs is
tetrahedral.
2. Nitrogen exists as N2. There is triple bond here.
Reflection:
I understand now on how to draw Lewis structure of molecular covalent compounds.
I don't understand on how to get the proper formula on a certain given.
I need more information about on how atoms gain, lose or share electrons to give a
stable electron configuration characterized by 8 valence electrons (the octet rule) in
forming a compound. Gilbert Lewis suggested that covalent bond is formed by sharing
of electrons in atoms. sharing of electrons can be illustrated using the Lewis electron-dot
symbols.
