1. Write the Lewis structure for the following compounds:

A. CO2

= 4 + 6 (2)

= 4 + 12

= 16 valence electrons

B. PBr3

= 5 + 7 (3)

= 5 + 21

= 26 valence electrons

C. CHCl3

= 4 + 1 + 7 (2)

= 5 + 21

= 26 valence electrons
2. How many valence electrons are in each of these atoms?

A. H = 1 valence electron B. K = 1 valence electron C. Mg = 2 valence electrons

D. Al = 3 valence electrons E. He = 2 valence electrons

3. Classify these molecules as polar or nonpolar

A. H2O – polar

B. HBr – polar

C. CF4 – nonpolar

D. NaF – ionic

4. Classify the bonding in each compound as ionic or covalent

A. NaCl – ionic

B. MgO – covalent

C. Br2 – covalent

D. H2O – covalent

E. PbS – ionic
