How many dots should be drawn around the elements symbol in the Lewis structure for a lone, neutral atom of phosphorus?

Why do sodium ion and choride ion form a compound?   A) The energy of the formation of the negative chloride is overcome by the energy of the formation of the positive sodium ion.   B) The lattice energy between the positive sodium and the negative chloride ions overcome the  endothermic formation of the ions   C)The energy of the formation of the positive sodium ion is overcome by the energy of the formation of the negative chloride ion.   D) The energy of the formation of the positive sodium ion is canceled by the formation of the negative chloride ion.

Draw the Lewis structures of the neutral atom of Aluminum and the ion of Aluminum. Determine the number of electrons gained or lost in forming an ion.

The electrons in a polar covalent molecule are shared... Electrons are not shared Unevenly Evenly None of the Above

Draw the Lewis structure of the unknown acid in which the HH atom(s) are bonded to OO atom(s).

Concerning the Chemical bonds. Choose the INCORRECT alternative: A) The forces that hold together the atoms of a molecule or a compound are Chemical bonds. B) The likelihood that an atom will form a chemical bond with another atom depends on the number of electrons in its outermost shell, also called the valence shell. C) An atom with a valence shell holding eight electrons is chemically stable, which means it is likely to form Chemical bonds with other atoms.  D) All the previous alternatives are incorrect.

How do you know when you need to add one or more multiple bonds to complete a Lewis structure?

Please refer to the example image to answer. You must use CER, claim-evidence-reasoning. Make sure that your answer is CLEAR and explained well. Claim is your answer to the question. Evidence is from the image and reasoning is your explanation.  Proper evidence for all Lewis structures include: Most electronegative atom must be in the center. Octet of electrons surrounding each atom. Total number of electrons depicted equals same total number of valence electrons from each participating atom. Make sure to refer to the example image because it shows the correct Lewis structures. The question you're answering is about the students drawing of CH20.

To draw a Lewis Structure, start with the atomic symbol in the middle, then put dots around the symbol until all of the valence electrons are represented. Try to envision a box around the atom symbol, and the electrons on each side of the box. The valence electrons should be drawn around the element symbol one on each side before pairing the electrons up. The maximum number of electrons that could be on one side of a Lewis Structure is two, and the maximum number of electrons around an element symbol is eight. To figure out how many valence electrons each element has, use the Periodic Table. Remember, the number of valance electrons for Group A elements is equal to the Group A number the element is in on the Periodic Table.     Use the data you collected in Table 1 to a draw Lewis structure model to show the formation of any one of the compounds you assembled, then explain the model you drew. Remember, you should be explaining and supporting your answers by referencing and citing the…
