Lewis Structures of Atoms

WORK BY PAIRS
A. Identify the Number of Valence Electrons and Draw the Lewis Dot Structure
Notes: Chemists use Lewis Dot Structures to show the valence electrons of an
element as dots. Since bonding involves the valence shell electrons only, it is only
necessary to illustrate those outer electrons.

Element Atomic Group Number # of Valence Lewis Dot

number (PT) Electrons Structure

Calcium

Carbon

Hydrogen

Helium

Oxygen

Fluorine

Neon

Sodium

Aluminum

B. Describe the relationship between Periodic Table Group and Valence Electrons

How many valence electrons do the elements in each Group have?

Group 1:

Group 2:

Group 13:

Group 14:

Group 15:

Group 16:

Group 17:

Group 18: Most of these elements have valence electrons, but one element, ,
only has valence electrons… (Research on this)
