Rules for Drawing Lewis Structures
1. Decide which atom is the central atom of the molecule
1. Hydrogen is never a central atom (1 bond only; no lone pairs)
2. Halogens usually make single bonds3. Usually the central atom is an element that
there is only one of
2. Count all valence electrons in the molecule
3. Draw a line representing a covalent bond between bonded atoms
4. Complete the “octet” of all attached atoms

Lewis Structure Rules Cont.
5. Place remaining electrons on the central atom (in pairs) even if the octet rule is exceeded
6. If the central atom lacks an octet, form multiple bonds
7. *There are exceptions to the Octet Rule*
1. An excess of electrons means that the d sub shell is involved in bonding
2. Odd number of electrons3. Not enough electrons

Vocabulary A bond is formed when a pair of electrons is
shared. (shared pairs). We indicate a bond with a line.
A double bond is formed when two pair of electrons are shared; triple when 3 pairs
A pair of electrons that is not shared is called a “lone pair”

Example (PCl3)
1. Choose the central atom
Cl P Cl
Cl
2. Count valence electronsP = 5
Cl = 7 x 3 = 21
Valence electrons = 26
3. Draw lines

Molecular Structure
Lewis structures do not necessarily illustrate molecular geometry, but they do generate the data needed to predict molecular structure.
In the valence shell of the central atom of a molecule are either bonding electron pairs or nonbonding pairs of electrons.
These electrons repel creating bond and lone pair angles.

VSEPR Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion Theory
1. Shared and unshared pairs repel.2. Lone pairs repel stronger than shared pairs.3. Double and triple bonds are viewed as single;
for structure only.4. The resultant shape of the molecule is a result
of shared and lone pairs being as far apart as possible.

Reactivities The reactivity of a molecule is dependent on
its shape. The shape of a molecule is determined by its
electron configuration.

Steps1. Draw the Lewis structure of a compound.2. Count the # bonds and lone pairs.3. Apply the VSEPR rules for shape.
