Read each question carefully and answer to the best of your ability. This worksheet will help you understand how to draw Lewis Dot Diagrams.
Lewis Dot Diagrams are a way to show the valence electrons of an atom. Valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost shell of an atom, and they are involved in chemical bonding.
1. Lewis Dot Diagrams show the electrons of an atom.
2. Valence electrons are found in the shell of an atom.
3. Which of the following best describes the purpose of a Lewis Dot Diagram?
To show the nucleus of an atom
To show the number of protons
To show valence electrons for bonding
To show the mass of an atom
4. All electrons in an atom are valence electrons.
True
False
5. Why are valence electrons important in chemistry?
