Lewis dot structure - Answers diagrams that show the bonding between atoms of a molecule and the
lone pairs of electrons that may exist in the molecule
group number - Answers What gives the number of valence electrons?
central atom - Answers What part of the molecular structure is usually the least Electronegative?
C, P, N, S - Answers What are the most common central atoms?
H, B, Be - Answers What three atoms do not have 8 electrons are them in the form of bonds or lone
pairs?
expanded octet - Answers - possible for elements in Period 3 or higher due to the presence of the d
orbital
- having more than 8 electrons
incomplete octet - Answers central atom is content with less than 8 electrons
2 - Answers How many valence electrons does Hydrogen have?
6 - Answers How many valence electrons does Boron have?

VESPR theory - Answers valence shell electron pair repulsion theory, because electron pairs repel,
molecules adjust their shapes so that valence electrons pairs are as far apart as possible
