CHEM-120 Week # 2 DQ 2 – Chemical Structures
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?
Could this element participate in a double or triple bond? Why or
why not?
