CHEM-120 Week # 2 DQ 2 – Chemical Structures (graded) The electron configuration of an atom determines the number of electrons available to participate in bonding with another atom. One method of depicting the valence electrons that an atom has is through the Lewis structure. To begin this discussion, pick an element from the periodic table of elements. Identify the valence electrons and the orbitals in which they reside. You can use the textbook and lecture. Pick a peers post and answer each of the following questions: How many unpaired electrons are present? How many covalent bonds could this element make?
