Document Summary

The greater the bond order (number of shared electron pairs) the greater the d value, true for other bonded atoms too: nn, oo, no , co etc. 1. sum up all the valence electrons from all atoms(group 4=4v) Though we use the octet rule as a basis for explaining and drawing chemical species, there are many exceptions to the rule . like hydrogen. 7. 10 formal charges denotes whether an atom has mor or less electrons in an electron dot structure compared to its number of valance electrons. formal charges are used to access the relative contribution of individual resonance structures the resonance hybrid. how do you know it"s formal charge? the valance shell on the lewis dot diagram has too many electrons (negative charge) or would have not enough (positive charge) Looking at each atom in the lewis structure: 1. count both electrons in a lone pair (non-bonding electrons) and one electron per bond.
