How To Draw Lewis Structure Of Covalent Compound
Step 1
Count the total number of valence electrons present in the molecule.
For ;
w anion – add the number of ‘- ’ charge
w cation – subtract the number of ‘ + ’ charge
25
Step 2
Draw the skeletal structure of the molecule or polyatomic ions.
Step 3
Draw a single covalent bond. Complete the octets of the terminal
atoms.
Exercise :
F-N-F
F
1 Total no. of valence electron:
2 H atom = 2 x 1 = 2
2 O atoms = 2 x 6 = 12

H O H
H–O–H
1 Total no. of valence electron:
1 C atom = 1 x 4 = 4
2 O atoms = 2 x 6 = 12

Exception to the Octet Rule
Ø In octet configuration , atoms should have electronic
configuration of noble gas.
Ø But…there are exceptions to the Octet Rule
i) Incomplete octet;
ii) Expanded octet; and
iii) Odd-number electrons.
