Writing Lewis Structures Many Lewis structures can be drawn by inspection but a system helps to draw the more complex ones. One approach is too : 1. Draw a skeleton of the major (non-hydrogen) atoms with single bonds ( lines) between each one. Several general considerations will help produce a valid skeletal diagram. normal covalency number or number of bonds that each atom forms. Consider the For the major atoms these are : Element Bond(s) HYDROGEN 1 BORON 3 ALUMINUM 3 CARBON | 4 NITROGEN 3 OXYGEN 2 HALOGENS 1 Also note that hydrogen, boron, aluminum and the halogens seldom form multiple bond.

Draw the Lewis structures of the neutral atom of Bromine and the ion of Bromine. Determine also the number of electrons gained or lost in forming an ion. ------------------IN SHORT------------------- Draw the Lewis Structures for: 1. Neutral Atom of Bromine 2. Ion of Bromine - Determine also the number of electrons gained or lost in forming an ion. NOTE : The Answer must be two different Lewis Structures, one for the Neutral Atom of Bromine and one for the Ion of Bromine. Both are different from each other so the answer should have 2 forms of lewis structures.
