Lesson 1.3 - Lewis Structures & Bonding

  • Lesson 1.3 - Lewis Structures & Bonding

    LEARNING GOALS: By the end of this lesson you will be able to ...

    1. draw Lewis structures for molecules and polyatomic ions, including formal charges.
    2. predict the polarity of various chemical compounds, based on their molecular shapes and the difference in the electronegativity values of the atoms
    3. predict the type of solid (ionic, molecular, covalent network, metallic) formed by a given substance in a chemical reaction, and describe the properties of that solid
