Lewis Dot Diagrams

Here is some additional review material for Lewis Dot Diagrams.  With break coming so soon, I know some review help will probably be in order for January, and now you're ready to go!

Electron Dot Structures (aka Lewis Dot Diagrams)

Also, here are some good images:

Atoms and Compounds:


Polyatomic Ions:
Nitrate and Carbonate (remember: each one has a negative charge (CO3 -2 and NO3 -1)...it's just not written in)

Sulfate:    Ammonium:

Review Material for Next Test

Reminder: Your next test is coming at the beginning of next week!  It will cover the material we have  talked about from Chapter 13.  Here are the test dates:

1st hour: Monday 12/12
5th hour: Tuesday 12/13

Here are the topics we have covered, and a few resources to help you study!
  • Electron Orbital Diagrams
  • Electron Configuration
  • History of atom models and scientists’ contributions to our understanding of the atom: Democritus to Schrodinger
  • The 3 Rules for filling orbital diagrams
  • Orbital shapes
  • Noble Gas Configuration
  • Quantum Numbers
  • Creation of electromagnetic radiation (light and “invisible light”)
  • Vocabulary: quantum, atomic orbitals, energy levels, quantum mechanical model, sublevels, atomic emission spectra
