Lewis Structures and Valence Electrons Guide

This document provides instructions for students to draw Lewis structures for various molecules by indicating the number of valence electrons and drawing the electron dot structure. It lists the names of 28 molecules and has spaces for students to write the number of valence electrons for each. An answer key at the bottom provides the number of valence electrons for each molecule. The document notes that some molecules break the octet rule and to watch a video for more information on those cases.
