Students have asked these similar questions
Are you able to describe the behavior and location of electrons, and how these factors influence bond formation between atoms?
Do bonding electrons occupy more space around the central atom?
In determining electron geometry, why do we consider only the electron groups on the central atom? Why don’t we consider electron groups on terminal atoms?

- When atoms react to form chemical bonds, only the electrons in the outermost or valence shell are involved. Thus, the configuration of the valence shell is important in bond formation. In order to place emphasis on the electrons in the outermost shell, a special symbol known as Lewis diagram (also called electron-dot structures) is used. Assuming that, element P has seven electrons, while element Q has eight electrons. When element P shared electrons with element Q, it will form an anion. Illustrate a 'dot and cross' diagram to show the bonding between element P and element Q. Based on the diagram, indicate the shape and the angle bond.
